****News for Brain States: Characterization and Neuromodulation by DBS**** Abstract submission ends Sunday, September 27, 2015 at midnight EST. Registration is now open but space is limited. Please register now to secure your spot. Registration includes breakfast, coffee breaks and lunch. Information for submission and registration can be found at http://bit.ly/1JVElkf and https://dbs.veomed.net/. The Brain States: Characterization and Neuromodulation by DBS conference will take place on November 11-13, 2015 in Cologne, Germany. This is an interdisciplinary meeting with leading experts in academia and medicine who will present physiological, computational and clinical approaches to the brain dynamics and brain mechanics of complex functional networks in the brain. Transformations of the neurodynamic operations of the brain between the normal to the pathological state will be explored using multivariate data analysis (EEG, MEG, DBS, etc…). Special attention will be given to next-generation approaches which allow the collaboration of clinical practice and science to advance the field from principles of organization to the causal control of function. ********************************************************************************* Brain States: Characterization and Neuromodulation by DBS November 11-13, 2015 Cologne, Germany ******************************************************************************** We are proud to present a unique combination of internationally renowned speakers in an intimate setting which encourages open discussion.
