Summer school overview:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is it time to start bridging the fields in a multidisciplinary fashion to create new approaches for a comprehensive assessment of complex brain dynamics in everyday situations? Can this offer further insides into preventive and rehabilitative approaches? These questions and many more will be addressed in the TwinBrain summer school 3.0 with international speakers from Slovenia, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium, France, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and USA.<\/p>\n


In our daily lives, we do many things automatically. And although we often seem to react without the slightest mental effort, there are a multitude of complex processes going on in our brains. We do not realize how difficult the task is until we (re)learn a particular cognitive-motor task, such as keeping our balance on skis or while surfing or even grasping a spoon after a stroke. On the other hand, we know of several neurodegenerative diseases that are progressive and prevent the smooth performance of everyday tasks. James Parkinson already recognized that progressive Parkinson’s disease (PD) is associated with debilitating features of postural instability and gait difficulties (PIGD) such as falls and freezing of gait. PD initially causes physical symptoms. Later, problems with cognitive function, including forgetfulness and difficulty concentrating, may occur. As the disease worsens over time, many people develop dementia. In the current summer school, we will have an international team of experts covering the latest discoveries on the topics and offering insight into how brain imaging technology might contribute to understanding brain function and disease development. Recent advancements in wireless and wearable technologies allow us to take a step further into real life. Therefore, the latest developments in the Mobile Brain\/Body Imaging (MoBI) approach will be presented.<\/p>\n


Students (mainly PhD students and post-docs) will have the unique opportunity to attend a 5-day summer school with five different but interconnected modules. Moreover, the networking opportunities and the informal part will undoubtedly open new avenues for future research in the field of neuroscience of movement. The brain is indeed an amazing organ, the most complex according to itself (YourBrain et al., 2023).<\/p>\n


Teaching methods:<\/strong>
The TwinBrain Summer School will be a hybrid between on-site and online students. Teaching methods will include a mix of theoretical lectures, hands-on sessions, and discussions. There will be a topic moderator for each module and full IT support. Each module will conclude with a final quiz.<\/p>\n


Learning outcomes:<\/strong>
Upon successful completion of the summer school modules, participants will:
\u2022 Know insides how the brain controls movement
\u2022 Understand the interaction between cognition and motor control
\u2022 Have an overview of clinical assessments and new biomarkers of neurodegenerative diseases
\u2022 Have an overview of state-of-the-art methodologies to study the brain\/body interactions
\u2022 Have an overview of the most effective countermeasures for fall prevention, injuries, and rehabilitation
\u2022 understand the importance of interdisciplinarities
\u2022 Be able to critically appraise, evaluate and discuss<\/p>\n
