Important Announcements

Australia - Gold Coast celebration of  Brain Awareness Week (BAW)2013 BAW is the global campaign to increase public awareness of the progress and benefits of  brain research The The highlight of this year celebration was a  keynote lecture by the world renowned neuroscientist Prof. Yury Kropotov In this  lecture Yury Kropotov provided an overview of current advances in brain science and EEG Brain Diagnostics using Event Related Potentials as biomarkers of brain disorders. The lecture and some slides will be available soon to watch. Please register as a member to be notified.  Yury was visiting Australia to conduct his 4-Day training course  : This course has attracted a significant interest from the clinical practitioners and researches from the field of mental health, interested to learn this approach to identify EEG markers of brain disorders and use them for guiding treatment and brain training. Most participants have previously attended Yury Kropotov's courses in Australia and overseas and were ready to move to the more advanced level. The course started with a comprehensive Introduction to ERPs Method and  was conducted by a well known expert in ERPs Dr Elena Labkovsky.  On the same day Elena  has given a workshop on Malingering and Lie Detection through  Event Related Potentials. Elena's teaching talent is combined with many years of research in this field, as well as her unique experience of usng ERPs in her clinical work. She has an ability to make ERPs look simple and accessible. The advanced course with Yury Kropotov was a much more in-depth exploration of his impressive methodology based on independent component analysis of ERPs. This method is at the frontier of brain EEG diagnostics and Yury has pioneered his very unique application based on many years of fundamental work at the Human Brain Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Yury believes that ERPs are a superior method to measuring cognitive processes and the information flow in the brain and that it is time to start apply this method in clinics. More to follow soon.
