2nd International Workshop on Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS)
Event Date: Thursday, June 3, 2021 - 7:30am to Friday, June 4, 2021 - 2:45pm
Free Registration - Virtual event
We want to invite you to join the 2nd Workshop on Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS) 2021! The meeting will be held online on June 3-4. The registration and abstract submission deadline is the 23rd of May (https://NIBS-Workshop.umn.edu).
Noninvasive tools capable of selectively manipulating neural systems in the human brain are needed to advance our neuroscientific understanding of brain function and develop novel therapeutic strategies. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), and transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) modulate neural activity based on inducing electric fields in the brain. These electric field distributions can be numerically computed using realistic head models. Increasingly, these modeling approaches are combined with imaging methods such as fMRI or EEG.
The workshop includes lectures and hands-on sessions. Topics covered range from FEM modeling and combined NIBS-neuroimaging to animal models. There will also be a poster session.
