Therefore, international cooperation and the dissemination of scientific information within the field of neurosciences and neurosonology is part of NSRG WFN activities.
During Oct. 25-26, 2014, the Georgian Chapter of the NSRG WFN successfully conducted the second NSRG WFN Regional Meeting in Tbilisi, Georgia.
There were also participants from neighboring countries — Armenia and Azerbaijan. This two-day course was designed for individuals who are interested to perform and interpret neurosonology studies.
