Today, methods of non-invasive brain stimulation (TMS, tDCS, tACS) have been established as highly valuable tools in clinical practice and basic research. They have tight integration with other techniques used in neuroscience, such as structural and functional neuroimaging, electroencephalography and molecular genetics studies. Non-invasive brain stimulation gives us an ability to uncover basic structure and functions of the human nervous system as well as to modulate its activity.
We currently observe constant growth of interest to non-invasive brain stimulation worldwide that is expressed in rapid increase of the number of relevant publications: from 10 papers in 1989 to 1185 in 2013. In 2014 and 2015 international guidelines on TMS usage in clinical practice were elaborated based on major studies and meta-analyses.
The Organizing Committee thanks the Federal Agency for Scientific Organizations and the Russian Foundation for the help in the Conference arrangement.
Main topics:
- transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)

- navigational TMS
- TMS–EEG
- rhythmic TMS as a treatment method in neurological conditions
- multimodal brain mapping: fMRI, EEG, TMS, NIRS, MEG
- brain-computer interfaces (BCI)
- computational methods for neurological data (fMRI, EEG).
