MRI Sequences & Physics for Neuroscientists

Training Overview

Epilepsy Imaging: From MRI to Network Mapping Training is an intensive, simulation-based educational program designed for neuroradiologists, epileptologists, neurosurgeons, and imaging scientists specializing in epilepsy diagnosis and surgical planning. This two-day course provides a comprehensive understanding of multimodal MRI, EEG, and advanced network analysis for localizing epileptogenic foci and optimizing treatment strategies.

The program begins with detailed sessions on epilepsy pathophysiology, seizure semiology, and neuroimaging principles for detecting structural and functional abnormalities. Participants explore advanced MRI techniques—including high-resolution structural imaging, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and functional MRI (fMRI)—to identify subtle cortical malformations and map eloquent brain regions critical for surgical planning.

Through hands-on simulation labs, attendees practice integrating MRI, EEG, and functional connectivity data for epileptogenic zone localization. Using advanced neuroimaging simulation software, participants perform source localization, network visualization, and multimodal data fusion replicating real-world clinical workflows.

Interactive workshops and AI-assisted case simulations allow participants to analyze real patient datasets, interpret pre- and post-surgical imaging, and evaluate brain network alterations. Faculty-led discussions emphasize how to translate imaging findings into clinical and surgical decision-making for resection, ablation, or neuromodulation.

By the end of the course, participants will have developed advanced skills in multimodal epilepsy imaging, network-based diagnosis, and precision pre-surgical mapping for improved patient outcomes.
