From 28 October 2026 - Third Accredited ESBS Certification Course Transcranial Magnetic and Electrical Stimulation - From neuronal mechanisms to clinical practice

This course is a cornerstone of the training program of the European Society for Brain Stimulation. It is aimed at introducing the theoretical background and practical applications of transcranial magnetic and electrical stimulation to researchers and clinicians. Every effort will be taken to cover the broad spectrum of areas involved in non-invasive brain stimulation, from modeling to clinical trials, and to highlight recent developments in the field. Lectures will be presented by world-renowned scientists and clinicians. We are looking forward to meeting you in Goettingen.
