What are the keynote topics?
Francesca Siclari studies dreams and conscious mental activity during sleep.
Her group uses high-density EEG, evoked potentials, serial-awakening paradigms and pharmacological manipulations.
The work covers typical sleep and conditions such as parasomnias and other sleep disorders.
David Norris studies magnetic resonance techniques, including laminar fMRI.
His work aims to improve accuracy, spatial resolution and temporal resolution, sometimes with EEG or focused ultrasound.
He is involved in the Dutch national 14T MRI initiative, which is developing a high-field human MRI system in Nijmegen.
