BrainWaves Workshop: Transcranial Stimulation Event as iCalendar
02 May 2011
3 - 5pm
Venue: Seminar Room 501-505, Building 501, 85 Park Road, Grafton
Great minds from four disciplines will discuss the use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in their research. These technologies have the potential to non-invasively teach us much about the workings of the brain and mind. This session will be chaired by Dr Matthew Petoe.
“Transcranial direct current stimulation and psychophysiology: Does the head rule the heart?”
- Rosemary Chakiath, Department of Psychological Medicine
“Non-invasive brain stimulation and ‘lazy eye’”
- Daniel Spiegel, Department of Optometry and Vision Science
“Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) – an emerging tool for tinnitus intervention”
- Grant Searchfield and Giriraj Singh Shekhawat, Department of Audiology
“What do electric motors and human motor cortex have in common: Another important legacy of Michael Faraday”
- Jim Stinear, Department of Sport and Exercise Science
