Location: Chelsea (Lower Level) Course Directors: Yu (Andy) Huang PhD, Dennis Q. Truong MS, Zhi-De Deng PhD, Scott F. Lempka PhD

Scope
This workshop provides an overview of the use of electric field modeling in brain stimulation. Electric field modeling is also important in addressing the new NIMH R61/33 RFA requirement that all spatial and temporal aspects of the stimulation be reported. In this workshop, experts will provide theoretical background information on electric field modeling as well as demonstration of some popular software packages. Covered topics will include the use of electric field models to study the physics and mechanisms of brain stimulation; the quantification, evaluation, reporting, and validation of dosing, targeting, safety, and interindividual variability in brain stimulation experiments; and application of electric field models to clinical research.

7:30 AM - 5:00 PM (Thursday, August 23, 2018)
Location: Gramercy (Lower Level) Course Directors: Angel Peterchev PhD, Joan Camprodon MD PhD, Tracy A. Barbour MD

Scope
This workshop provides an overview of the principles and state-of-the-art applications of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). TMS is FDA-cleared for the treatment of major depression, migraine, and pre-surgical cortical mapping, and is widely used in basic and translational neuroscience research. Leading TMS experts from Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School, Duke University School of Medicine and Mount Sinai Hospital will lecture on topics including device principles and types; comparison of features of the various FDA approved devices; description of the parameter space and the mechanisms of action; the neuroscience of TMS; research applications including multimodal combinations with MRI and EEG; clinical applications; principles of stimulus dosing; risks and contraindications; safety screening; regulations; and practical discussion on device use, experimental design and clinical management. There will be plenty of opportunities for formal and informal discussion with course faculty.

The lectures will be followed by a hands-on training session to learn key TMS procedures such as motor threshold determination and coil targeting using neuronavigation. The hands-on session will comprise learning stations with different TMS devices and practical instruction with high instructor-to-participant number ratio.

The workshop will be capped by an hour long discussion, questions, and answers session that will provide opportunity for addressing additional topics of interest to the participants.

Target Audience: This course is designed for engineers.

Scope
This premier training opportunity offers engineers a hands-on opportunity to learn cutting-edge neuromodulation techniques for pain under the direction of a world-class faculty.

By developing a broader understanding of the existing technologies and clinical applications, attendees will be better equipped to identify and understand the implications on device design so as to further advance the field. Engineers will commingle with clinicians in this unique training opportunity in order to foster a platform for multidisciplinary networking and collaboration.

This interactive session is comprised of four discussion style cases that review common pearls and pitfalls regarding the technology and components behind spinal cord stimulation, DRG stimulation, peripheral nerve stimulation, and intrathecal drug delivery systems. The primary aim of this session is to provide a basic overview of the of these therapies, as well as discussing the most common complications and areas of potential improvement for these devices. We will also discuss patient selection and the appropriate indications for instituting these various forms of neuromodulation technology, as well as novel and up-and-coming platforms within this space.
