High-Density DOT Workshop
Pre-OHBM Event
Date: June 13, 2026
Location: Hôtel Mercure Bordeaux Lac, Bordeaux, France
Join us for a full-day workshop dedicated to the latest advances in high-density diffuse optical tomography (HD-DOT) and neuroimaging applications.
The program features expert-led sessions, including invited talks, application-focused presentations, and live demonstrations. Participants will gain insights into HD solutions, data analysis workflows, and tools such as Satori and BrainVoyager.
In the afternoon, attendees will have the opportunity to take part in a hands-on NeuroDOT session, offering practical experience with the technology. A live HD-DOT demo will also be available during lunch.
The event will conclude with a networking social, providing a relaxed setting to connect with peers and experts in the field.
Whether you are new to HD-DOT or looking to deepen your expertise, this workshop offers both theoretical knowledge and practical experience.

TMS-fNIRS workshop
The TMS-fNIRS presentation offers a comprehensive overview of combining transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). It will explore the integration of neuroimaging modalities, comparisons with TMS-EEG and TMS-fMRI, and the latest developments in TMS-fNIRS. The session will also provide practical guidelines for device setup, address both physiological and technical considerations, and share valuable tips for optimizing data acquisition and analysis
This online workshop was organized by the Interdisciplinary Unit for Applied Neuroscience (UFABC) and Brain Support in partnership with Brain Products and NIRx.
