Introduction to Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation

Delegate rate: £50-£120

28 – 29 November 2024, 09:00

Join us for a comprehensive two-day workshop on an Introduction to Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS), in Cardiff, UK. This workshop is designed for researchers and students who are interested in exploring the fundamentals and applications of cutting-edge NIBS techniques.

Over the course of the workshop, participants will dive deep into three key NIBS methods:

  • Transcranial Ultrasound Stimulation (TUS)
  • Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
  • Transcranial Electrical Stimulation (tES)

 

Each session will include theoretical lectures, offering you a unique opportunity to gain foundational knowledge and experience with topics such as:

  • Gain an understanding of the core principles and mechanisms behind Transcranial Ultrasound Stimulation (TUS), Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), and Transcranial Electrical Stimulation (tES).
  • Explore the safety considerations for each technique, ensuring responsible and effective use.
  • Sessions introducing these techniques, including TUS equipment setup, TMS coil positioning, and tES protocol administration.
  • Engage in interactive group activities, where you'll design your own NIBS research studies, applying the theoretical knowledge gained.
  • Delve into the advanced integration of NIBS with neuronavigation.
  • Discuss the ethical and safety considerations crucial to conducting NIBS research, with a focus on maintaining high standards of practice.
  • Conclude with a focus on designing and implementing advanced NIBS protocols, where you'll experiment with various stimulation parameters and refine your approach based on practical challenges.

Please note that the workshop will be held from 28th-29th November, 2024. The exact schedule and session timings will be provided closer to the workshop date.
