SimNIBS

Non-invasive neuromodulation 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. In this workshop, students and researchers can learn about state-of-the art computational, experimental, and clinical methods in transcranial magnetic/electric/ultrasound stimulation (TMS, tACS, tFUS). The workshop includes lectures and hands-on sessions on:

  • Advanced computational modeling
  • Closed-loop brain stimulation
  • Combinations with neuroimaging (EEG, MRI) and connectomics
  • Cutting-edge clinical applications
  • Mechanistic and animal studies
