CoBS 2021

held in November 2021

 Plakat COBS

We welcome international students, researchers, clinicians, and representatives from the industry to join the COPENHAGEN BRAIN STIMULATION WEEK 2021 - a course offering full immersion into transcranial brain stimulation. The course provides knowledge and know-how enabling attendees to carry out high-quality brain stimulation experiments and analyses covering all non-invasive modalities (TMS, TDCS, TACS, TUS).

The program entails four days of keynote presentations from renowned international scientists in the morning followed by hands-on sessions spanning from basic physiology and physics of brain stimulation to clinical applications in the afternoon.

The course ends with a 1-day-symposium on Friday November 5th feating talks from international experts on brain stimulation.
