Clinical Neuroscience Workshop Isola di San Servolo, Venice Epilepsy: Advanced Technology for Clinicians October 5 — 10, 2018 Coordinator: Brian Litt (USA) Faculty: M. Cook, G.A. Worrell, J. Duncan, M. Koepp, R. Gross, T. Lucas, K. Davis Epilepsy diagnostic approach, treatment and therapy are changing rapidly. There are new technologies for mapping epileptic networks, implantable antiepileptic devices, laser ablation and imaging that are dramatically changing care and outcomes. In this workshop, world clinician-experts in engineering, neuroscience and clinical neurology present the latest tools for state-of-the-art epilepsy care and present cases to demonstrate their use. By the end of the Workshop attendees will learn how to apply: (1) the newest imaging and electrophysiology techniques to map brain structure and function, (2) novel tools to link imaging with intracranial electrodes, (3) new surgical techniques for focal therapy including laser, radiofrequency ablation and focused ultrasound, and (4) the newest implantable antiepileptic devices. Join us for a fascinating update on the newest techniques in Venice, and take home next generation tools to use at your Center.
