tDCS/tACS Workshop at Carolina Neurostimulation Conference

We are proud to contribute to a workshop on theory and practice of tDCS/tACS on May 21st 2018 just before the Carolina Neurostimulation Conference in Chapel Hill, NC. Registration will open soon, both for the conference and the workshop.

Dr. Frohlich will be the main lecturer (in his capacity as Director of the Carolina Center for Neurostimulation). In addition, we will have several other guest lectures on applied topics. Perhaps most importantly, we will practice tACS/tDCS and learn all the technical little tricks that make such a study successful. please note that this is a course for researchers and research trainees.

Some of the topics we will cover:

• What is a good study design for a tACS/tDCS study? What type of questionnaires are needed? How can we make a study truly double-blind? What are the common pitfalls of study design?
• What do we know about the mechanism of action of tACS/tDCS. Are we ready for the rational design of stimulation paradigms?
• Is the field in a crisis? How should we move forward as field. What are the high-yield, high-priority research areas in our field?
• How can I apply stimulation without dripping saline, unstable electrode impedances, and truly gross sponge electrodes? Learn how to do it better!

This will be very informal and interactive - we look forward to seeing you there!

PS Pulvinar Neuro will provide the devices to practice. This is an academic event and none of the lecturers receive any financial remuneration from Pulvinar Neuro. The content of the lectures will be without commercial bias. You should use the stimulation brand you like best and works best for your research!
