OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Developing a network approach in using brain stimulation in healthy volunteers and patients
In this talk I will first provide a brief overview of multichannel transcranial current stimulation (tCS) technology. After developing the first multichannel tCS+EEG systems in 2010, in 2014 my colleagues and I proposed a methodology for optimization of multichannel montages (Stimweaver), which I will describe in some detail. In particular, I will clarify the importance and challenges of defining a target map and a weight map, and the tradeoffs that are needed for optimization. I will then provide examples and the rationale for using this technology for more focal stimulation, e.g. of the motor cortex or of the dorsolateral PFC, for the stimulation of networks, or for no stimulation at all. Some examples of how researchers are using advanced stimulation include stimulation of networks in diseases of consciousness and of the motor cortex network, and also on the use of EEG-driven transcranial alternating current stimulation.
