Rovereto, Italy




About
Welcome to the Rovereto CuttingEEG Garden! Our program explores the methodological frontiers of M/EEG through five key areas: neurodevelopmental studies, hyperscanning and interpersonal synchrony, multivariate methods, frequency-tagging, and multimodal imaging. Alternating cutting-edge talks with hands-on tutorials, we will bring local research excellence to the global community.
Topics
- Neurodevelopment and learning
- Multimodal imaging and advanced MVPA
- Hyperscanning and social synchrony

Tutorials
- Interpersonal synchrony: theoretical models and practical implementations (Andrea Bizzego)
- Dynamic RSA (Marisa Birk, Bence Neszmelyi; Shared with Barcelona Garden)
- Tracking Stimulus-Specific Brain Responses with Frequency-Tagging (Marco Buiatti)
- Improving EEG Source Reconstruction with 3D head scans and MRI (Irene Petrizzo)

Featured Speakers /Teachers
