The Brainbox Initiative Fundamentals and Applications of tES workshop is run in collaboration with Professor Sven Bestmann of UCL and members of his lab Carys Evans, Jenny Lee, and Ainslie Johnstone.

Across three days of lectures, discussions, and interactive practical demonstrations, delegates will explore:

• The basic principles and physiology of transcranial electrical stimulation;
• An overview of the various types of tES devices available and how to use these systems;
• Considerations for tES study designs, supplemented with group discussions to plan these studies;
• Demonstrations and examples of how to set up and execute a robust transcranial electrical stimulation session;
• Practical experience of using advanced current flow modelling techniques with SIMNIBS, ROAST, and Neurophet tES Lab;
• and insights into advanced, multimodal applications of tES with MRI, EEG, fNIRS, TMS, and more.

The knowledge gained in this workshop will provide attendees with all the required knowledge to design, set up, and carry out their own transcranial electrical stimulation study, and is suitable for both new users of tES, and those with an existing knowledge of how to use this technique.
