The Organization for Human Brain Mapping (OHBM) and its Sustainability and Environmental Action Special Interest Group (SEA-SIG) are organizing the first online-only Satellite meeting to promote research communication with a smaller carbon footprint. This event will happen across three days the 10th, 11th and 12th of September 2025.

The meeting will provide a platform for researchers to present their newest findings and connect with others outside of the regular Annual meeting.

Visceral Mind is an immersive, five-day residential summer school dedicated to functional neuroanatomy. Designed for postgraduate and postdoctoral researchers in cognitive neuroscience and related fields—as well as clinical, medical, and allied health professionals—it offers a unique blend of lectures, patient case conferences, hands-on practical sessions, and dissection labs using human brain tissue.

We're happy to announce that the 4th Cognition and Natural Sensory Processing (CNSP) Workshop will take place virtually on September 2-3.

The workshop will be two days of talks and hands-on tutorials relating to analysis of neural data involving natural, continuous sensory inputs (e.g., speech/music listening). Our keynote speakers will be Dr. JR King and Dr. Sam Nastase. 

The workshop will also feature interactive tutorial sessions on the analysis of continuous sensory data. Please see our workshop page for more information and register here!.

*** CNSP Hackathon (12-14 September) in Maastricht ***

The first CNSP Hackathon will take place in Maastricht, Netherlands on September 12-14, 2025, just before the International Conference on Auditory Cortex (ICAC). Put your coding skills to the test and solve real problems in natural sensory processing.

During the CNSP Hackathon, you'll collaborate in teams to develop innovative tools and analyses that advance research in cognition and natural sensory processing. Whether you're interested in neural signal processing, data visualization, or building open-source resources, this hands-on event offers a unique opportunity to contribute to the CNSP community.

We are now accepting applications to the first CNSP Hackathon!

Registration for the two-week Cognitive Neuroimaging Skills Training In Cambridge (COGNESTIC) from 15-26 Sep 2025 at the MRC CBU in Cambridge, UK, is now open. It will provide training in state-of-the-art methods for python-based open neuroimaging analysis and related methods (sMRI, DWI, fMRI, MEG, EEG). For more information, please visit: https://www.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/events/cognestic-2025/

The DeepMI lab is happy to announce the DeepMI FastSurfer / FreeSurfer course 2025, a 2.5-day, hands-on, introductory course on state-of-the-art deep-learning methods for fast and reliable neuroimage analysis. The course will be held from September 17-19, 2025, at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) in Bonn, Germany.

Melbourne Brain Centre

Join us in Melbourne for a full day of cutting-edge brain imaging science and networking! This year's meeting is organised around three themes: brain development and aging, computational neuroscience, and neuromodulation

Call for abstracts closes September 15!

Dear colleague,

After more than 20 years of experience in using the intraoperative mapping techniques and neurophysiologic intraoperative monitoring for the resection of brain lesions located in supratentorial eloquent areas, we are pleased to offer you a full course which comprises the anatomic and theoretical basis for the implementation of these techniques, some practical sessions (white matter fiber tractography using DTI for intraoperative navigation, fiber dissection and CUSA ultrasonic aspirator usage course both in cadaveric specimens) to finalize with two live broadcast surgeries with the application of the subject taught.

It is mainly a practical course which arises from our department experience. We have designed it in the "how I do it" format, with the participation of the corresponding professionals of all the fields implied in the brain mapping process: from the preoperative planning to the surgery, and even the postoperative follow up. We have enriched the course with our know-how, hoping that this 8th Mapping Course in Bellvitge is useful and enjoyable for all of you, with the plus of the course laying in the marvelous city of Barcelona, which will undoubtedly turn out to be an extra appeal.

We are waiting for you,

Dr. Andreu Gabarrós

Chairman
Neurosurgery Department

On behalf of the organizing committee, it is our great pleasure to invite you to the International Neuroscience Conference (NEURO-2025), set to take place from 29-30 November 2025, in the enchanting city of Tbilisi, Georgia. The NEURO-2025 promises to be an inspiring and intellectually stimulating event that brings together leading minds from around the world to explore the frontiers of neuroscience. The conference will be held in conjunction with the 6th Annual Meeting of the International Center for Neuroscience Research in Georgia, will feature a comprehensive program that includes keynote speeches, cutting-edge presentations, engaging panel discussions, and interactive sessions. This gathering serves as an exceptional platform for professionals, researchers, and experts to network, share their latest research findings, and foster collaborations that will drive the field of neuroscience forward.

💡 ** Conference Main Themes:
We are excited to address three main topics:
1- Decoding the Diseased Brain: Neurochemical Pathways, Early Markers, and Precision Diagnostics.
2- Brain Circuitry and Cognition: From Computational Models to Therapeutic Innovation.
3- Converging Neurotechnologies: Restoring Function and Re-Engineering Brain Health.

These topics highlight the most significant areas of contemporary neuroscience and neurosurgery, promoting a deeper understanding and innovative approaches to addressing current challenges. We look forward to your active participation and contributions to the program through abstract submissions for oral and poster presentations. Together, let us make NEURO-2025 a memorable and impactful event.

💡 **Abstract submissions for oral and poster presentations are now open**! Don’t miss the opportunity to share your research and contribute to the future of neuroscience.

💡 ** Important Dates:
- **Abstract Submission Deadline:** September 30, 2025
- **Early Bird Registration:** September 10, 2025
