The first ‘two-day course of TMS and navigation system’ was hold on March 2018

The first ‘two-day course of TMS and navigation system’ was hold at National Brain Mapping Laboratory on March 5 & 12, 2018. The course was held in two days. On the first day (Monday, March 5, 2018), the participants only familiarized with the theory, and after passing the test from the Theory (70% of the test score) on the second day (Monday, March 12, 2018), they were practically learned how to use and work the devices. In order to maximize the efficiency of the workshop, the capacity of only 5 people was considered.
