Non-invasive brain stimulation techniques (so-called NIBS) are indispensable and important tools in clinical research of neuropsychiatric disorders, increasingly they are also recognized as an important option in the therapeutic toolbox, too.

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS), with its growing set of evidence on safety and effectiveness, is not anymore only restricted to the research laboratory but has become a significant clinical option to treat an increasing number of psychiatric and neurological conditions.

In its footsteps, the more recent technique of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is evolving even quicker, promising a similar safety and efficacy profile and a much more convenient utilization by patients.

Developed in cooperation with some of the most renowned specialists (national and international), these courses aim to provide medical professionals with the necessary knowledge to effectively utilize rTMS and tDCS in relevant cases. Information on the mechanisms of action and the most recent clinical results will be presented and active, hands-on training will allow each participant to use the latest stimulation devices.
