The 2018 organization from Human Brain Mapping (OHBM) (https://www.humanbrainmapping.org) meeting was held in a sunny and tropical Singapore from June 17-21. Notably the OHBM meeting was preceded by the 4th Annual Brain Stimulation and Imaging Meeting (BrainSTIM).

The OHBM meeting is a key neuroscience conference that focuses on using advanced neuroimaging and computational techniques to enhance our understanding of the organization and functioning of the human brain in health and disease and across the lifespan. High-level keynote lectures addressed the state of the art concerning the use of neuroimaging in individual prediction of resilience to and risk of disease, causal characterization of brain dynamics and functions, neurodevelopmental underpinnings of neurocognitive processes and self-regulation and basic principles of macro- and micro-scale brain connectivity. Workshops, symposia and poster sessions allowed for an in-depth sharing and discussion of the latest findings and methods.  

The DRCMR was heavily represented with 11 attending researchers, 11 poster presentations, three symposia talks and one keynote lecture at the BrainSTIM meeting.

1. Saturnino, Assessing the Impact of Conductivity Uncertainties on the Accuracy of TES Electric Field Calculations
