Turbo-BrainVoyager Workshop

We are excited to announce the upcoming Turbo-BrainVoyager workshop scheduled for the 25th-26th of March 2026 in the beautiful setting of Maastricht (NL). We look forward to welcoming all interested participants! In order to register, please send an email to TBVWorkshop@brain-innovation.com with the subject ‘TBV workshop registration’, including your name, surname and affiliation. Payment modalities will be communicated after registration.

In this workshop, participants will learn the general procedure of how to perform real-time fMRI experiments using Turbo-BrainVoyager (TBV), one of the most often used software for real-time fMRI applications. The workshop will start with an introduction to the topic of real-time fMRI at 3 and 7 Tesla and its potential application to neurofeedback based on regions of interest, multivariate patterns, and connectivity measures. We will provide an overview for beginners and deliver advanced insights for experienced users, including updated pipelines and robust quality monitoring. We will explain the general structure of TBV and the workflow to perform real-time experiments. Here, we will focus on best practices and real-time quality measures to improve real-time applications. Participants will get hands-on experience with the software and observe its real-time use with a 3 Tesla in Maastricht, with the possibility to discuss with experts in the field about the potential of real-time neurofeedback applications.
