Other Meetings

1st International Summit on Clinical Brainmodulation and Technologies

8-11 September, 2010	1st International Summit on Clinical Brainmodulation and Technologies Nuremberg, Germany
Website	www.bms2010.org
Content	BMS stands for BrainModulationSummit. Brain Modulation is the application of interdisciplinary methods and technologies including medicine, neuroscience, electronics, engineering, physiology, biochemistry, and various related disciplines to the human brain and related structures in order to therapeutically modulate its functions. BMS2010 promises to be an exciting event and covers a range of technologies & market segments in brainmodulation with a special focus on Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Emerging technologies (such as t-VNS, t-DCS, and others) Surrogate Markers for Diagnosis and Treatment Evaluation
Proposals	Prospective authors are invited to submit papers for oral presentations, posters as well as proposals for Insight Tutorials on methods and devices including but not limited to: A complete up-to 4-page paper or a poster (in a standard provided via submission systems), including title, authors’ names, affiliations and e-mail addresses, and a short abstract are requested. Papers must be submitted electronically in PDF format through www.bms2010.org. All accepted work will be published in the proceedings of the summit and will be available online.
Key Dates	Deadline for submission of 4-page paper or poster: March 30, 2010 Notification of acceptance/rejection: May 15, 2010 Submission of final accepted 4-page paper: July 15, 2010 Deadline for author registration: June 1, 2010 Deadline for early registration: July 1, 2010

IFCN-sponsored meetings in Clinical Neurophysiology

Would you like the IFCN to financially support your meeting? 

Support for scientific meetings is the responsibility of the Chapters, and requests for financial assistance should be directed to the relevant Executive Committees. However, the IFCN Executive recognises that some scientific meetings cross Chapter boundaries or may fall outside the purview of Chapters, and it is prepared to consider providing limited financial support for up to 2 scientific meetings/year, using the following principles:

1. The meeting may be in any area of clinical neurophysiology, but preference will be given only to cutting-edge topics in growing areas of the specialty. Within any one 4-year cycle, support will not be provided for more than one meeting in the same general area. The IFCN ExCo will assess claims and retains the right to reject applications for any reason.
2. So that the benefits of the meeting are available more broadly, to members of all IFCN societies, the Organisers will commit the participants to contribute substantial reviews based on their presentations to "Clinical Neurophysiology" within 3 months of the meeting. Submitted reviews will be subject to full peer review and those accepted will be published together as a named section in one of the monthly issues of the journal within 12 months of the meeting. As a guide, such sections can contain 6-12 review papers, each of normal article length, and this might then occupy 50-70% of the relevant monthly issue. The Organisers will be asked to provide an Editorial Overview of the contents of the special section. The Organisers of sponsored meetings will be required to correspond with the Editor-in-Chief david.burke@sydney.edu.au about these arrangements. 
3. The meeting should involve invited speakers from more than one chapter, and IFCN support will be to assist the attendance of invited speakers. The total sponsorship monies provided by IFCN will not exceed USD 20,000 in any one year (i.e., USD 80,000 per fiscal period), and requests for ~USD 10,000 will generally be preferred.
4. The meeting will be known and advertised as an "IFCN Meeting on ...[topic]..."
5. A draft program and full budget for the proposed meeting must be submitted.
6. Applications should be submitted to the IFCN Secretariat shudson@venuewest.com.
