Founded in 2002, the Brain Connectivity Workshop (BCW) is an annual international meeting for in-depth discussions of all aspects of brain connectivity research. This meeting has a unique format in that it features short presentations, followed by intense discussion. The 17th edition of this workshop, taking place at Stanford University from June 25-27, 2018, begins with an educational day followed by two days devoted to presentations and discussions in multiple domains in relation to connectivity in both psychiatry and neurology.
