NIPS Research Meeting

【About this meeting】

Research using MEG has recently entered a new phase due to technological advances in hardware and software. In the Biomag conference held in August 2018 in Philadelphia, USA, a number of novel findings generated excitement in the conference venue. Based on this current trend, we would like to hold an NIPS research meeting entitled “Recent advances in neuroimaging methods, MEG and others, focusing on pain perception in humans”. In this meeting, we intend to focus on oral presentations in order to allocate a sufficient amount of time for discussions in the latest research findings. We look forward to having you join us.

With best regards,

Ryusuke Kakigi
