The post Lecture “From Knowing to Acting: Why Change Is Difficult and How Health Coaching Can Help” appeared first on LSMU.

The event is organised by the EBRAINS Lithuania (LSMU, VDU, KTU and LSMU Hospital Kauno klinikos), EBRAINS Switzerland, EBRAINS France, Lithuanian Society of Neurologists, Research Council of Lithuania.

The General Chair of the event is Prof. Viktor Jirsa, Chief Science Officer of EBRAINS, Aix-Marseille University, France.

The symposium will explore how artificial intelligence, digital brain twins, neuromodulation, wearable technologies, and smart technologies can contribute to the development of precision and personalised medicine in neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, neuropsychology, and neurorehabilitation. Particular attention will be given to AI-based assessment of clinical data, personalised digital models of the patient’s brain, the use of smartphones and wearable sensors for health monitoring, research on brain–heart interactions, and emerging approaches to neuromodulation. The symposium will also address the challenges of implementing these technologies in healthcare, including issues related to responsible AI, bioethics, medical ethics, and their impact on patients and society.

19 October 2026 – EBRAINS School and Hands-on Workshops:
EBRAINS, The Virtual Brain, and Artificial Intelligence. The programme will include presentations by early-career researchers and practical sessions introducing AI foundation models based on deep neural networks, as well as the EBRAINS “The Virtual Brain” methodology, which enables the development of personalised digital models of patients’ brains for applications in diagnosis, assessment of disease progression, and treatment planning.

20 October 2026 – EBRAINS Symposium:
Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Brain Twins, and Precision Medicine. Invited experts from the EBRAINS Switzerland and EBRAINS France National Nodes, as well as leading European clinical and research institutions, will present the latest advances in clinical neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and neurotechnology.

The scientific programme will conclude with the panel discussion “The Virtual Clinic: Promise, Risk, and Ethics in AI-Driven Medicine’ bringing together experts in neuroscience, neurology, neurosurgery, artificial intelligence, digital health, and biomedical engineering to discuss how AI and virtual patient technologies may transform future clinical practice.

We invite early-career researchers to present their work!
Abstracts from Master’s students, PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and medical residents will be accepted until 10 October 2026. Please send a one-page abstract in MS Word format by email to ebrains@lsmu.lt  Authors of selected abstracts will be invited to give 15-minute oral presentations on 19 October 2026.

LSMU Orientation Week will give you a chance to explore the University, learn more about your studies, and discover what student life at LSMU is all about!

From August 31 to September 2, over the course of three days, we will explore key academic and social topics for every student and attend the University’s official academic year opening ceremony. You will have the opportunity to meet your faculty administration, hear directly from current students about their experiences at LSMU and their involvement in different student organizations.

You won’t leave the Orientation Week without some gifts either: every first-year student will have the opportunity to pick up their freshman welcome pack and attend an evening event organized by the Student Representation and Student Affairs Office.

By participating in the event, you agree to be photographed and filmed.
