2nd International Workshop on Advances in Electrocorticography

Thursday, November 11 - Friday, November 12, 2010

Marriott Hotel and Marina, San Diego, California, USA

Increasing understanding of brain function and increasingly sophisticated methods for recording and interpreting signals from the surface of the brain (electrocorticography (ECoG)) are opening up exciting new opportunities for using these signals for clinical or research purposes.  These developments have sparked tremendous interest in human and animal ECoG recordings to investigate the basis of normal brain function related to motor control, language, or memory, as well as of abnormal function such as epileptic seizures. This workshop reviews recent research findings in this area and demonstrates examples for the emerging translation of these new findings into clinical care.

This two-day workshop series with world-class speakers is held as an official satellite to the Society of Neuroscience meeting in San Diego.  The first day focuses on current clinical use of electrocorticography, and emerging clinical opportunities.  The second day focuses on principles of ECoG signals, and emerging research.  This workshop series follows a hugely successful informal workshop at the American Epilepsy Society Annual Meeting in 2008 and the first formal ECoG workshop in Upstate New York in 2009.
