Organized by Aalto Brain Centre (ABC) and Aalto NeuroImaging (ANI), Aalto University School of Science.
General
Aalto TMS and AMI Centre are currently building a setup that enables concurrent transcranial magnetic stimulations (TMS) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Both these modalities are valuable tools for understanding the functionality and plasticity of the brain. Concurrent TMS-fMRI, even though technically challenging, opens a new window to exploit this knowledge. This event is organized in order to promote TMS research at Aalto University, to discuss challenges related to combined TMS-fMRI and to learn about studies that have successfully applied these methods.
Note
The event is intented to all interested parties. Attendance is free of charge, but please let us know (http://doodle.com/z2c2by36hunky8g9) if you would like to attend so that we have an estimate of the number of attendees.
