The field of brain stimulation is undergoing remarkable
growth. Brain stimulation methods are rapidly transforming research into brain
mechanisms, from the molecular to the behavioral, and offer new approaches to
therapeutics for brain disorders. In many ways, the field of brain stimulation
represents a paradigm shift, augmenting and sometimes replacing the prominent
psychopharmacological approaches of the past several decades.
Currently, there are single theme meetings around the world that are either
technique or profession based or that limit the science in other ways. This
third international meeting, organized by Elsevier and sponsored by and
integrated with the journal Brain Stimulation, will build on the first meeting
held in Singapore in 2015 and the second meeting in Barcelona in 2017. Thus,
this will be the 3rd International Brain Stimulation meeting, with integration
of all the various groups involved in this exciting field.
The field of brain stimulation is advancing rapidly with breakthroughs in
basic, translational, and clinical research. The latest and most important
research will be presented at this meeting across these domains. This is an
opportunity to interact with colleagues in diverse disciplines and settings and
to learn about advances across the field of brain stimulation. The
International Brain Stimulation Award will be given, and this meeting will also
opportunity to interact with founders and luminaries of this field.
This meeting will follow the successful multidisciplinary broad approach of the
first two meetings. Basic scientists will attend lectures by engineers and
psychiatrists. Cognitive neuroscientists will mingle with neurosurgeons and
brain modelling physicists. This fertile cross-disciplinary meeting will also
provide the opportunity to interact with founders and luminaries in the
field.
Topics will include:
- Animal models
- Combining brain stimulation methods with brain imaging
- Computer modeling of brain stimulation methods
- Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)
- Deep brain stimulation
- EEG-synchronization
- Low-field magnetic stimulation (LFMS)
- Neuronavigation
- Neurophysiology
- Plasticity of the nervous system
- Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS)
- Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)
- Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)
- Transcranial pulsed ultrasound
- Vagus nerve stimulation
- Novel neuromodulation techniques
- Clinical neurological applications
- Clinical psychiatric applications
- Cognitive and affective neuroscience
- Basic neuroscience
