Thomas Stieglitz invited speaker at ECoG Workshop in San Diego

Society for Neuroscience Pre-Conference event reviews recent research findings

At this year’s SfN Pre-Conference Workshop on Electrocorticography, BrainLinks-BrainTools member Thomas Stieglitz is one of the event’s invited speakers. It will take place on November 7-8, 2013 at the Marriott Gaslamp Quarter in San Diego. A detailed program will be made available shortly at the workshop series’ website.

The ECoG workshop series reviews recent research findings in this area and demonstrates examples for the emerging translation of these new findings into clinical care.

Increasing understanding of brain function and increasingly sophisticated methods for recording and interpreting signals from the surface of the brain (electrocorticography (ECoG)) are opening up exciting new opportunities for using these signals for clinical or research purposes.  These developments have sparked tremendous interest in human and animal ECoG recordings to investigate the basis of normal brain function related to motor control, language, or memory, as well as of abnormal function such as epileptic seizures.
