pleased to announce the opening of registration for the Third International
Conference on EEG Microstates, an event dedicated to advancing our
understanding of brain dynamics through cutting-edge research and
interdisciplinary collaboration. The conference will take place from September
15th to 18th, 2026, at the Aurum in Pescara, Italy. The meeting will focus on
the latest developments in EEG microstate research, bringing together leading
experts in the field of cognitive and clinical neuroscience. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"><span lang="EN-US">Over the
past years, microstate analysis has become a valid methodological approach for
investigating brain function and cognition, as well as their alterations in
neurological and psychiatric conditions. This conference aims to foster
discussion on methodological advances, theoretical frameworks, and
translational applications of EEG microstates. </span></p>
