BRAINNSS 2024

The Center for Applied Neuroscience, University of Cyprus hosted the Brain Research and Integrative Neuroscience Network for COVID-19 (BRAINN) Summer School from 8 to 12 July 2024 at the University of Cyprus Campuses in Nicosia.

This Summer School funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Programme, attracted over 60 students and researchers from around the globe, providing a unique platform to delve into neuroimaging, neurocognitive assessment, neurocognitive treatment, and non-invasive brain stimulation.

Participants had the privilege of attending hands-on sessions led by esteemed professors from renowned universities: King’s College London (United Kingdom), Maastricht University (Netherlands), Ghent University (Belgium), University of Cyprus (Cyprus). 

• “Cognitive Assessment with Cognitron“
• “MRI Training”
• “Cognitive Rehabilitation with CAT-BRAIN”
• “Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation”

Beyond the academic schedule, the Summer School facilitated plenty of networking opportunities through coffee breaks and lunches. Attendees also enjoyed exploring the coastal city of Larnaca via a walking tour and experiencing the local culture during a dinner at a traditional tavern.

The Center for Applied Neuroscience (CAN) at the University of Cyprus is the sole center in Cyprus researching high-incidence neurological and neuropsychological disorders. Using advanced methodologies like EEG, eye tracking, neuropsychological and cognitive testing, and powerful computing, CAN collaborates with medical centers for MRI data collection and develops neurorehabilitation programs and neuromodulation (tDCS) protocols.
