5th International Training Course on Neuroimaging of Epilepsy

The 5^th International Training Course on Neuroimaging of Epilepsy will be held virtually at the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre of the Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital (The Neuro).

The goal of our course is to provide participants with an understanding of fundamentals and practical skills related to state-of-the-art MR imaging in epilepsy. In addition to offering methodological insights, we place emphasis on clinical decision-making and translation to local settings.

Our course is endorsed by the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) as one of the activities for the new competency-based curriculum and provides Level 2 competencies (covering also level 1 and 3).

For the didactic portion, participants will have access to pre-recorded zoom lectures a few weeks before the course, in order to view them at their convenience, thereby accommodating various time zones. Each day will begin with a 1-hour question and answer (Q&A) period about specific lectures.

The teaching session will consist of case review of MRI data of epilepsy patients, including both visual and computer-assisted analyses. We will also have a session on diffusion MRI and resting-state and task-based fMRI, covering pre-processing and case presentations.

Course directors: Andrea Bernasconi and Neda Bernasconi
