Burke Medical Research Institute, in conjunction with Soterix Medical East, is hosting one-day intensive workshop on the fundamentals of the theoretical and practical aspects of transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) and High-Definition transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (HD-tDCS). The event will be held at the Burke Rehabilitation Center's Billings Building on its main campus at 785 Mamaroneck Ave. in White Plains.

Preceding the hands-on demonstration and break-out sessions, the day begins with lectures by pioneers in the field of tDCS who will provide a general background on tDCS mechanisms and protocols including live demonstration of tDCS. Issues related to dose decision, safety, regulatory compliance, and best clinical practices will be introduced.

Speakers include:

Marom Bikson, PhD: Technology Overview Mechanisms

Dylan Edwards, PhD, director of Burke's Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation and Human Motor Control Laboratory: Clinical Protocols and Safety

Abhishek Datta, PhD: Soterix Medical Technology and Software

Felipe Fregni, PhD: Future Directions and Challenges
