It is increasingly recognized that epilepsy is a disorder of whole-brain networks. New techniques to image and to analyze brain connectivity has furthermore given a comprehensive, ‘big data’ perspective on brain networks, and to detect their alterations in epileptic disorders. In this virtual workshop, we aim to overview how these approaches have provided novel insights into the impact of epilepsy on the whole brain, and how these tools are beginning to deliver clinically useful biomarkers and novel models of cognitive function and dysfunction.

Our half-day workshop that takes place in the morning and afternoon will be free to interested attendees thanks to our partners SickKids and The Neuro. Established scientists and early career researchers will take centre stage for a series of talks on state-of-the-art application of connectome analysis in the understanding of cognitive and clinical dimensions of epilepsy. In addition to these talks, we have reserved ample time for stimulating discussions on where the field is at and how we can move forward.

Registration is available on Eventbrite. ZOOM link sent to registrants.
