"Iuliu Hațieganu” University of Medicine and Pharmacy Cluj-Napoca is pleased to invite you to the Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Program "Summer School of Brain Mapping and Stimulation Techniques" which will take place between September 9-13, 2024 in Cluj-Napoca.  The program covers a wide range of topics in the field of neuroscience and neurotechnology, including electroencephalography (EEG) and quantitative EEG (QEEG) fundamentals, eye tracking and brain stimulation techniques. It is designed to assist young researchers in comprehending attentional processes, decision-making, visual search strategies, and the impact of neurological disorders on eye movements and cognitive functions. This deeper comprehension will be enriched through the examination of neural stimulation methods, fostering insights into innovative approaches for modulating brain activity and addressing neurological challenges. Through interactive discussions and collaborative projects, participants will develop innovative solutions and contribute to advancements in the field of electroneurophysiology.

Donders Center for Cognitive Neuroimaging at Radboud University invites PhD students and senior researchers to The Donders Advanced (f)MRI Toolkit which will be held from September 16-20, 2024. The intensive 5-day course will provide an overview of the MR Methods (that can be) used in Cognitive Neuroimaging. The first part of the course covers the basic MR physics needed to obtain MR signal, create MR images and discusses the physical mechanisms driving the MRI contrast (beyond fMRI) and artifacts. The second part of the course is dedicated to model free and model based fMRI processing strategies, functional and structural connectivity analyses. Finally, considerations on data organization and “big data” processing will be covered. Each day will consist of a well-balanced mix of lectures and hands-on sessions. The hands-on sessions are mostly based around FSL and Python. Direct interactions with the lecturers will be promoted throughout.
