A century has passed since the first EEG recording from the human scalp, marking a pivotal milestone for our understanding of brain function. More recently, the vast body of knowledge gained through the use of EEG has been enriched by insights from intracranial recordings, obtained primarily from epileptic patients undergoing presurgical evaluation. These data offer a circular connection between human neurophysiology and clinical neuroscience, fostering a multidisciplinary landscape that continues to expand our knowledge.
Inspired by this circular relationship, the inTRACE workshop brings together leading experts, researchers, and clinicians to explore the intricate interplay between clinical practice and neuroscience in human intracerebral recordings. Located at the crossroads of multiple initiatives, this in-person meeting will provide a unique platform to foster dialogue, collaboration, and innovation.
Circularity will be the rationale of all our half-day sessions.
Each session will start with main communications on a given research topic, continue with one symposium or short communications by young researchers, and conclude with a lecture titled “Clinical Return” where a clinician will discuss the topic’s relevance.

Proceedings will be published in the Journal of Neuroscience Methods
Dates and Location
Crédit Agricole Green Life Auditorium
Crédit Agricole Green Life is the headquarters of the Crédit Agricole Italia Group, inaugurated in 2018 in Parma. It is nestled within 70,000 square meters of parkland and is entirely sustainable: LEED Platinum certification, energy efficiency, the use of durable and recyclable materials, and a paperless work philosophy are just some of the elements that position the Group as a promoter of ecological practices.
Crédit Agricole Green Life represents a way of understanding and experiencing the workplace, aimed at improving and transforming how we interact, with innovative space management based on an open-space concept.
