  7. Working Groups • WG 1 "Theoretical Considerations" • WG 2 "Diagnostics and Treatment"  • WG 3 " Experimental Studies“ J. Pop-Jordanov, COST DC BMBS Meeting, Brussels, Dec. 2006

  8. B. Management Committee Members: 29+5 Profile:multidisciplinary Meetings: First − Brussels, May 05 Second − Istanbul, Sept. 05 Third – Skopje, May 06 Forth – Swansea, Sept. 06 J. Pop-Jordanov, COST DC BMBS Meeting, Brussels, Dec. 2006

  9. C. Overview Activity and Expenditures • Meetings • STSM • Workshops • General Support Grants • Schools • Others J. Pop-Jordanov, COST DC BMBS Meeting, Brussels, Dec. 2006

  10. II. Scientific report A. Results achievedWG1: Theoretical Considerations • EEG signal analysis (16 teams/8 countries) Extended and newly developed methods and codes • Chaos synchronization (9/5) Improved models for description of neural dynamics J. Pop-Jordanov, COST DC BMBS Meeting, Brussels, Dec. 2006

  11. WG2: Diagnostics and Treatment Advancedmethods of biofeedback, neuro-feedback and qEEG for research and clinical treatment of: • ADHD (13/6) • Other cognition-related disorders (11/9) J. Pop-Jordanov, COST DC BMBS Meeting, Brussels, Dec. 2006

  12. WG3: Experimental Studies Improvements of knowledge on:memory, attention, perception and executive functions (17/13) Approaches: local, cellular network and systems Tools: EEG, ERP, single cell recordings, local field potentials, neurochemistry, and event‑related desynchronisation/synchronisation J. Pop-Jordanov, COST DC BMBS Meeting, Brussels, Dec. 2006

  13. Interactions between WGs New models ADHD EEG Signal Analysis Other Chaos Synchronization Better diagnostics and treatment Experimental Studies on Human Cognition EEG Database New evidence ▬ collaboration; ▬data mining; ▬expected outputs J. Pop-Jordanov, COST DC BMBS Meeting, Brussels, Dec. 2006

  14. Involving Young Scientists • Members in most WG teams • Active participation in WG meetings • STSM (5) • Co-authors in publications J. Pop-Jordanov, COST DC BMBS Meeting, Brussels, Dec. 2006

  18. Scientific and Technical Cooperation Emerged research project granted by other sources (FP6, Foundations, Governments): • Joint projects 7 • Individual projects 9 J. Pop-Jordanov, COST DC BMBS Meeting, Brussels, Dec. 2006

  19. Transfer of Results • Models and softwares – packed in the open source MATLAB library (AT, MK, TR) • Web based data banks (FR, LT) • Evaluation criteria transferred to other clinics and academia (EE, RU, UK) • A new open access journal (PL) • Exhibitions (UK) • Press and electronic media (all) J. Pop-Jordanov, COST DC BMBS Meeting, Brussels, Dec. 2006

  20. C. Self-evaluation • Main Successes • Increased number of participating COST • countries and non-COST institutions J. Pop-Jordanov, COST DC BMBS Meeting, Brussels, Dec. 2006

  21. Main Successes (cont.) • Joint international financed research projects • Increasing number of STSM • Intensive participation of young scientists • Assistance with the foundation of SAN J. Pop-Jordanov, COST DC BMBS Meeting, Brussels, Dec. 2006

  22. Drawbacks • Week inter-WGs cooperation • Insufficient translational research • Relatively small number of multi-country publications J. Pop-Jordanov, COST DC BMBS Meeting, Brussels, Dec. 2006

  23. A Generalized Statement COST is not only an acronym, it is also a synonym for cost-effective J. Pop-Jordanov, COST DC BMBS Meeting, Brussels, Dec. 2006

  24. Acknowledgement COST B27 Management Committee highly appreciates the valuable contributions of Prof. Mihail Pascu, former Domain Scientific Officer, towards establishing and developing of the Action. J. Pop-Jordanov, COST DC BMBS Meeting, Brussels, Dec. 2006
