Join us for an exceptional week of Noninvasive Brain Stimulation in Belgrade, Serbia!
📅 Event Dates: 05. – 08. November 2024
🏢 Location: Belgrade, Serbia
Following the successful NIBS school 2023, we are happy to organize another event. The Noninvasive Brain Stimulation School 2024 is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for researchers, students, and health-care professionals to get acquainted with noninvasive brain stimulation techniques and their application. This event is designed to provide a theoretical foundation behind different brain stimulation techniques, understanding of the latest advancements and applications in the field, while also offering hands-on experience with different techniques, as well as networking opportunities.
The experts in the field will deliver insightful lectures covering the following topics:Â
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)Â Â
Transcranial Electrical Stimulation (tDCS, tACS)Â Â
Emerging methods for precision brain stimulationÂ
Ethical and safety considerations in brain stimulationÂ
Clinical applications of brain stimulation in neurology, psychiatry, and rehabilitationÂ
The school will also offer immersive and hands-on training sessions, giving participants the opportunity to acquire practical skills in:Â
Conducting safe noninvasive brain stimulation Â
Different TMS protocols for research and therapyÂ
Different tES protocols for research and therapyÂ
Measuring outcomes of noninvasive brain stimulationÂ
In addition to the scientific and technical aspects, we understand the importance of professional and career growth. Therefore, we have incorporated dedicated sessions to focus on:Â
Professional & Career Opportunities in brain stimulation: research, technology, therapyÂ
Opportunities for students and early-stage researchers: education, trainings, mentoring programs Â
Diversity in brain stimulation Â
Apart from the enriching educational aspect, the event will provide ample networking opportunities fostering connections among lecturers and participants. If you are an early career researcher or looking to start your career in science this will be a good opportunity to meet potential supervisors and other early–stage researchers (PhD or MSc students)Â
This event is open to:Â
Students, including undergraduate, Master, PhD students across relevant fields such as: neuroscience, technology, engineering, medicine, biology, psychology, rehabilitation.Â
Healthcare Professionals, including medical doctors, psychotherapists, psychologists, speech and language therapists, clinical technicians. Â
Researchers in all relevant fields including neuroscience, technology, engineering, medicine, biology, psychology, rehabilitationÂ
We welcome local and international participants. This means that the school will be open to participants from Serbia, Western Balkan countries, as well as other EU and non-EU countries. We strongly encourage participants from underrepresented groups to attend. Â
No prior experience in brain stimulation is necessary, as the lectures and hands-on sessions will not assume prior knowledge and experience. Â
The official language of the school will be English. The hands-on sessions in small groups will be in English and Serbian depending on the group composition. Â
The school is free of charge for participants. Â
We encourage all interested participants to apply as soon as possible by filling up the Registration form. Due to the overwhelming response and limited capacity, seats may fill up quickly.
