reminder: Call for Abstracts – IWSP7: Epilepsy Mechanisms, Models, Prediction & Control
The 7th International Workshop on Seizure Prediction (IWSP7: Epilepsy Mechanisms, Models, Prediction & Control) will bring together world leading epileptologists, engineers, physicists, mathematicians, neurosurgeons and neuroscientists to focus on epilepsy research in Melbourne Australia from 3-6 August 2015.
Abstract submission deadline: 16th April 2015. Notification of acceptance: 31st May 2015.
Early bird registration: full: AU$465; Student/Early Career Researcher: AU$165. Early bird registration deadline: 30th June 2015. Standard registration: full: AU$565; Student/Early Career Researcher: AU$265.
Over 30 generous travel stipends will be awarded to participants submitting the best abstracts as determined by the IWSP7 Scientific Advisory Board. The majority will be awarded to undergraduate or postgraduate students and early career researchers (people who completed their PhD within the period of the 3 years preceding 3rd August 2015).
The best abstracts will also be selected for talks by the IWSP7 Scientific Advisory Board.
Topics for abstracts include, but are not limited to: seizure prediction, detection and control; seizure mechanisms, animal models and human neurophysiology; neuroimaging of epilepsy/seizure localisation; computational modelling of epilepsy; epilepsy networks; high frequency oscillations; model-based estimation, statistical signal processing or control theory applied to epilepsy.
For information on invited speakers and the preliminary conference program, and how to submit abstracts and register visit: http://www.iwsp7.org
Please forward this notice to anyone that you think might be interested. Or post the conference poster around your department. The poster can be obtained at the link: http://www.iwsp7.org/flyers/IWSP7_Call_for_Abstracts.pdf
We would also like to draw your attention to two partner events: Epilepsy Melbourne which brings together Melbourne’s best epilepsy researchers and will be held at the same venue as IWSP7 on the afternoon of August 6th and all of August 7th. Attendance is free for IWSP7 registrants. Swinburne Brain Imaging Symposium 2015: Principles and Applications of Magnetoencephalography is a meeting on MEG and neuroimaging occurring in Melbourne in the week preceding IWSP7 from June 29-30 2015. http://www.research.swinburne.edu.au/our-research/events/neuroimaging-sympos...
We look forward to seeing you at IWSP7!

*FENS Featured Regional Meeting (FFRM) 2015* http://ffrm2015.com
The Federation of European Neurosciences Societies (FENS) and the National Hellenic, Israeli and Serbian Neuroscience Societies are honoured to announce that the International FENS conference - FENS Featured Regional Meeting (FFRM) will take place in Thessaloniki from October 7-10, 2015 at the «Ioannis Vellidis» congress centre.
On a biennial basis, the FFRM enables interdisciplinary scientific interaction amongst leading neuroscientists and pioneering scientists of other disciplines with the aim of developing new techniques and technologies. It is our common belief that in Thessaloniki in 2015, the FFRM will unite the cultures of Greece, Israel and Serbia to address the common ambitions of their people for progress and distinction.
The international organizing committee of the conference has prepared a scientific program that will bring to our country over 170 neuroscientists from all over the world. To name a few:
- The 2014 Nobel Prize laureate of Physiology or Medicine, Professor John O’Keefe from UCL. In a lecture open to the public at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Professor O’Keefe will present his fascinating discovery regarding the brain’s spatial navigation system (grid cells).
- Professor Nikos Logothetis, Director at the Max Planck Institute in Tubingen, Germany. Professor Logothetis is a world-renowned researcher in the field of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). He will present his research regarding the elucidation of learning mechanisms in the human brain.
- Professor Henry Markram of the EPFL University of Switzerland, coordinator of the Human Brain Project - an ambitious venture with the goal of building a working mathematical model of the human brain using super computers.
- Professor Carmen Sandi of the EPFL University of Switzerland, Head of the Behavioral Genetics Lab, who will discuss the emerging field of neuroeconomics in the effort to understand the brain’s functions involved in making economic decisions.
- Professor Evan Snyder of the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute (SBMRI) in the United States, a pioneer in the field of regenerative medicine. Professor Snyder will describe promising results from the application of stem cells in neurodegenerative diseases.
FFRM 2015 will be a conference focused on young scientists. Opportunity will be given to young researchers from all over the world to present their scientific projects along side accomplished colleagues. Hopefully the presence of the elite scientific community will provide inspiration and motivation for budding scientists of all ages.
The main scientific topics that will be covered include: Molecular/Cellular Neuroscience, Developmental Neuroscience, Neural Circuits and Systems, Cognitive and Behavioural Neuroscience, Clinical Neuroscience, Neuroengineering and Computational Neuroscience. All are invited to participate and contribute their scientific work, ideas and novel approaches to these research topics.
We invite those interested in participating to submit their abstracts for FFRM 2015 - a conference that will be accompanied by vibrant social events with the aim of being an unforgettable experience for all attendees.
For further information, deadlines, abstract submission, and registration, please visit the conference’s website http://ffrm2015.com
This is the final call for abstracts for the2015 FENS Featured Regional Meeting.
The final abstract submission deadline of *Friday, May 15, 2015* is approaching!
We invite you to participate by submitting your abstracts for poster presentation.
