Program
Workshops tutorials
Wednesday – March 19th
The entire workshop day will be dedicated to practical aspects and tutorials. The morning session will feature two lectures on quantitative signal analysis in epilepsy and HFOs. In the afternoon, attendees will have the opportunity to choose between two hands-on tutorial tracks, during which they will learn the latest data processing tools. To attend the hands-on tutorials, participants are required to register and bring their own laptops.
Quantitative EEG analysis in Epilepsy
This workshop (2X2 hours) on Quantitative EEG Analyses in Epilepsy is designed to provide an in-depth understanding of advanced analytical techniques for interpreting intracerebral EEG data. Participants will explore methods such as connectivity analyses and other methods to caracterize the seizure onset zone with a focus on clinical practice. The workshop will include hands-on sessions with real iEEG datasets, highlighting how quantitative approaches can enhance the identification of epileptic networks, optimize diagnosis, and inform treatment strategies. By attending, participants will gain practical experience and a deeper appreciation of the potential of quantitative EEG to advance precision medicine in epilepsy.
More details on this workshop will be provided later, stay tuned…
Analysing HFOs
Join us for a hands-on workshop (2×2 hours) on High Frequency Oscillations (HFOs) in epilepsy, designed for clinicians, researchers and students working in the field of epilepsy. This workshop will cover the basics of HFO detection, analysis and interpretation, emphasising their role as biomarkers of epileptogenic zones. Participants will gain practical skills using state-of-the-art tools for HFO identification in intracranial EEG, with guided sessions led by experts in the field. he workshop will include hands-on sessions with real iEEG datasets. By attending, you’ll improve your understanding of how HFOs may (or may not) improve diagnostic accuracy and learn how to use HFOs in research protocols (cognitive and clinical). Don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your expertise, network, chat with other participants and have a good time!
