Conference and Workshop Registration

Register now for Baycrest’s 27th annual Rotman Research Institute Conference: Neural Dynamics and Brain Health. Don’t miss the early bird deadline of February 14, 2017!

Sessions will cover:

  • Comprehensive descriptions of neural dynamics across the lifespan in health and disease
  • Exclusive insight into how brain simulation of brain damage caused by disorders, such as epilepsy or stroke, can guide treatment
  • Avenues for healthy brain aging: the effect of exercise and music on the brain.

By attending this conference, participants will better be able to:

  • Learn how brain dynamics change as a function of age and disease
  • Understand the innovative role of neuroimaging and its emerging clinical aplications
  • Identify lifestyle factors that modify brain dynamics and influence healthy brain aging
  • Evaluate the linkages between brain dynamics and brain health interventions

The broad and multifaceted approach of this year’s conference is intended to bring together professionals in many sectors with an interest in health.

Who should attend?

Researchers, clinicians, health professionals, residents, post-doctoral fellows and students in the areas of cognitive neuroscience, neuropsychology, geriatrics and psychology who wish to learn about recent findings in brain dynamics in healthy development and in those with brain disorders.
