15th Annual Scientific Conference – Workshops Day – 27 November 2025
The second day of the 15th Annual Scientific Conference of the Center for Applied Neuroscience (CAN) was dedicated to an intensive series of hands-on workshops designed for registered participants. The Workshops Day provided an opportunity for deeper engagement with specialized topics in neuropsychology, neuroimaging, neuromodulation, and integrative clinical practice, offering participants a unique space to develop practical skills and explore emerging methodologies in applied neuroscience.
The day opened with a brief welcome and overview, followed by the first workshop, which focused on integrating neuropsychological, lifestyle, and neuroimaging assessment in clinical practice. Through presentations and a multidisciplinary case study, participants examined how cognitive, behavioral, lifestyle, and imaging data can be synthesized into comprehensive and personalized clinical formulations. The workshop emphasized the importance of multimodal assessment and highlighted evolving frameworks for understanding brain health.
The second workshop explored the role of brain states in non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS). Presenters discussed how intrinsic and task-related brain states shape responsiveness to stimulation and demonstrated approaches for precision neurotargeting, state monitoring, and individualized protocol design. Through case examples and discussion, attendees gained insight into the importance of timing, neural context, and methodological rigor in optimizing stimulation outcomes.
After lunch, the program continued with a workshop dedicated to remote NIBS and its expanding clinical and research applications. The session examined emerging models of home-based and remotely supervised stimulation, addressing feasibility, safety, ethical considerations, and technological advancements that make tele-NIBS increasingly accessible. Practical strategies for implementation and participant monitoring were discussed, highlighting the potential of remote approaches to broaden access to personalized neurorehabilitation and cognitive enhancement.
The final workshop of the day focused on integrating NIBS with cognitive and psychological rehabilitation. Presenters outlined conceptual frameworks and practical considerations for combining stimulation with evidence-based interventions such as the Categorization Program (CP) and psychosocial group programs. Case studies demonstrated how multimodal, precision-based approaches can enhance outcomes across neurological and psychiatric conditions, offering participants translational examples of real-world clinical and research applications.
The Workshops Day concluded with a brief closing session, summarizing key insights and encouraging continued collaboration among participants. This second day of the conference reinforced the commitment of CAN to advancing interdisciplinary training, promoting evidence-based innovation, and supporting the development of future clinical and research leaders in neuroscience. and engagement continue to strengthen our mission to advance neuroscience research, promote scientific excellence, and improve health and quality of life through innovative, evidence-based approaches.
