1st Portuguese Conference on Brain Stimulation in Mental Health
The 1st Portuguese Conference on Brain Stimulation in Mental Health (#PCBS24), scheduled to take place on April 10th, 2024, is an exciting and pivotal event in the field of brain stimulation and mental health in Portugal. This inaugural conference is set to precede the 6th European Conference and aims to gather the foremost national experts and researchers in this burgeoning field.
With the primary objective of fostering collaboration, sharing best practices, and advancing our comprehension of brain stimulation's critical role in mental health, this event promises to be a cornerstone in the pursuit of innovative solutions and improved clinical practices within Portugal's scientific community.
The organising committee of the 1st Portuguese Conference on Brain Stimulation in Mental Health is pleased to invite you to submit an abstract for consideration.
We welcome abstract submissions until February 14th. Participants have the option to present their abstracts and posters in either Portuguese or English. Moreover, if interested, contributors can indicate their willingness for their work to be considered for inclusion in the Poster Session of the 6th ECBS. Please note that only works submitted in English will be considered for this specific purpose.
