EEG-fMRI Early Satellite Symposium Supported by Symbiotic Devices & Brain Products GmbH
Date: November 20th, 2016 (14:00 pm)
Location: University of Newcastle

This symposium and workshop aims to provide theoretical and practical training about deriving EEG in the MR environment and to offer ideas about how concurrent EEG-fMRI can be used to answer scientific and clinical questions (with focus on Epilepsy research).

For all clinicians, students and researchers (novice, intermediate and advanced) interested in simultaneous measurement in EEG-fMRI.

Symposium Speakers:

Dr. Jorge Joao, Laboratory for Functional and Metabolic Imaging, EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland

Dr Suresh Muthukumaraswamy, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand

Dr David Carmichael, UCL Institute of Child Health, UK

Mr Aaron Warren - Florey Department of Neuroscience and Mental Health Department, Melbourne, Australia

• Motion correction for EEG-fMRI using custom carbon fibre head motion detection loops
• Analysis of EEG-fMRI in the context of epilepsy (standard ‘SPM’ approaches & ICA techniques to detect non-canonical seizure-related BOLD changes)
• Applications of EEG-fMRI in the treatment of epilepsy (defining the epileptogenic zone prior to surgery, and defining potential targets for emerging deep-brain stimulation therapies)

Do I need to bring a personal computer?

You may bring your own personal computer, however, all workshop material (laptop, software, dongle, participants folder and certificate) as well as lunch, coffee - breaks will be provided.

Do I need to prepare for the EEG/fMRI workshop?

Safety in the MRI scanner is a priority, powerful magnetic fields will interfere with metal objects. As part of the workshop you have the opportunity to enter the scanner room. Therefore you will be required to complete a safety questionnaire prior to the practical session on Monday 21st November.

In addition you will be asked to remove any metal objects (coins, keys, watch, jewellery, credit cards, mobile phones, pagers etc) prior to entering the scanner room.
