Üsküdar University and NPİSTANBUL Brain Hospital continue to present their work at international conferences. Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan and Prof. Dr. Barış Metin attended the BACI (Basic & Clinical Multimodal Imaging) conference organized by the international ECNS (EEG & Clinical Neuroscience Society). Tarhan explained the importance of biomarkers in psychiatric diseases, classical biomarkers, and next-generation AI-supported biomarkers within the scope of neurotechnologies, the new focus of brain research.
The BACI (Basic & Clinical Multimodal Imaging) conference, organized by the EEG & Clinical Neuroscience Society (ECNS), concluded with the participation of researchers from Üsküdar University, NPİSTANBUL Brain Hospital, Stanford University, and Tabriz University.
Biomarkers in Psychiatric Diseases…
Prof. Nevzat Tarhan, who was elected President of the Brain Initiative (MeBrain+ Initiative) by the Society for Brain Mapping and Therapeutics (SBMT), covering surrounding countries including the Middle East and Balkans, drew attention to biomarkers in psychiatric diseases. Tarhan shared his presentation, which addressed the importance of biomarkers in psychiatric diseases, classical biomarkers, and next-generation artificial intelligence-supported biomarkers, within the scope of neurotechnologies, the new focus of brain research, in the session titled "In-Silico Applications in Neuroscience".
Prof. Nevzat Tarhan also provided information about the "Artificial intelligence and image processing based hospital information management system," for which a patent application was filed for NPİSTANBUL Brain Hospital.
From Stanford University, Prof. Maheen Adamson presented a study titled "A deep learning approach to evaluating sex differences in antidepressant response to neuromodulation using EEG in major depressive disorder," which they completed in collaboration with Üsküdar University and the International Brain Research Consortium. Adamson shared striking results obtained regarding women's proximity to treatment response in her study comparing the rTMS treatment response of men and women.
Dr. Muhammed Nami, who completed his studies in Health Sciences at Harvard University with a focus on neuroscience, participated in the presentation with his work titled "The Biomarkers' Significance in Pharmaco-EEG", while Prof. Dr. Barış Metin from NPİSTANBUL Brain Hospital also drew attention to important findings in his presentation "Distinct neural correlates of attention problems and delay discounting deficits in ADHD". Metin, in his study examining brain MRI images of individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), shared the results showing that attention disorders and impulsivity in ADHD are caused by different brain structures.
