2024 Annual Assembly of the Global Brain Consortium

Chengdu, China and Virtual Online

September 6th to September 8th, 2024

We are delighted to announce the upcoming Global Brain Consortium (GBC) Annual Meeting, from September 6th to 8th, 2024, to be held in Chengdu, China, in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the discovery of the Electroencephalogram (EEG) by Hans Berger. This landmark event, titled ‘Celebrating 100 Years of EEG: Milestones and Future,’ will bring together leading experts in computational neuroscience, neuroscience methodology, and experimental neuroscience to engage in in-depth discussions on various aspects of brain research. Outstanding scientists will deliver Keynote lectures and chair state-to-the-art symposia on different topics. As it is our tradition, the contributions will be focused on promoting Open Science and facilitating access to international databases, increasing computing power, and advanced methodologies in Low and Middle-Income countries.

The meeting will be integrated within the 2024 Belt and Road International Conference on Advancing Population Brain Health through Brain Apparatus Communication, chaired by Dezhong Yao.

It will be divided into two modalities:

• In-Person modality, which will take place from 09:00 to 17:15, Chengdu time, on September 7th and 8th. The complete integrated program of the two events can be viewed here.
