We invite all interested parties to submit abstracts to the 5th BRAINN Congress. Papers will be presented in poster form (undergrad and initial post-graduate projects) or in an oral session (advanced post-graduate projects).

 

Please note that poster presenters will be also required to present a quick oral preview of their abstract. 

​

Accepted abstracts will be published in the Journal of Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology.

Deadline for abstract submission: February 23rd 2018.

Notification of acceptance: March 12th 2018.

Deadline for abstract final version uploading*: March 16th 2018.

(*) Please note that, since the accepted abstracts will be published, you will be required to perform corrections suggested by reviewers, and upload a final version of your paper. Even if there were no changes to make to the original abstract, authors must upload the final version of their paper (in this case, the same version previously submitted). This is to simplify abstracts’ management by the editors’ team.

  •  Applied clinical neuroscience

  •  Experimental basic neuroscience

  •  Neurotechnology
