Simona joined the largest conference in the field of MRI to give a talk about the Directional Derivative method. She shared recent developments and results with the international MRI community.
The work received the “Magna cum laude” award by the organizing committee, and won the third best abstract prize in the field of MRI for Neuromodulation. Such an honor! 🏆 🚀
Beyond the recognition, the conference offered invaluable opportunities for scientific exchange, networking, and constructive feedback. The spirit of collaboration and openness truly reflected the concept of Ubuntu — “I am because we are.”
We attended the Inaugural conference of the IST in Bordeaux. In this important moment for the tractography scientific community, our research didn’t go unnoticed! Dr. Aydogan also had the pleasure of organizing this event.
Our work was welcomed with interest and enthusiasm, and Simona was awarded the first place prize for her pitch!
With such a focused, collaborative and hand-on spirit, we are looking forward for IST’s future events, and we’re proud to be an active part of this community!
We are excited to share that Joonas Laurinoja has been awarded personal funding of 34,000 € from the Emil Aaltonen Foundation.
This prestigious funding will support Joonas’ ongoing research on the development of a multi-modal imaging-guided brain stimulation system. The project aims to advance precision and effectiveness in brain stimulation technologies, contributing to both scientific understanding and potential future clinical applications.
We are grateful to the Emil Aaltonen Foundation for their recognition and support of this important research, and we look forward to the progress this funding will enable.
Simona had the pleasure of participating in the 11th Science Factory: TMS–EEG Summer School and Workshop, organized by Aalto University’s Department of Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering. The fast paced-event brought together researchers from around the world to exchange ideas, dive into hands-on TMS–EEG sessions, and explore new directions in brain stimulation research.
The school is an incredible opportunity to build deep and actionable knowledge in TMS–EEG from the ground up, thanks to expert mentoring and an incredibly engaging atmosphere. Ready to apply this knowledge to our own research!
