Intensive two-day international meeting dedicated on the design and implementation of tDCS in clinical and research settings. Update on 2014 state-of-the-art methodology with presentations and discussions on the development of professional standards for safety, validity and reproducibility of functional outcomes in tDCS applications.

ABOUT

Two-day intensive workshop:Day 1 Comprehensive lectures on tDCS application, reproducibility, and design

Day 2 Practical sessions on application and reproducibility with special coverage of tDCS current flow modeling Expert updates on best practices and methods in tDCS and HD-tDCS application with hands-on training and attendance certification. IRB application, patient screening, montage/dose design and application, safety, practical exercises, hardware, software, modeling, and more.

Special coverage of state of the art tDCS computational modeling techniques, with practical training on HD-Explore tDCS modeling software.

With many networking, educational, investment analysis and collaboration opportunities, this event is designed to promote the progress of transcranial Electrical Stimulation as both a research and therapeutic modality.
