The III Symposium on Neurophysiology and Neuromodulation in Sport, Exercise, and Motor Rehabilitation represents a significant step toward consolidating a national and international collaborative network dedicated to studying the neural mechanisms of movement and the applications of neuromodulation in sports, physical exercise, and motor rehabilitation.
The first edition of the symposium was held in Porto Alegre in 2023, followed by the second edition in Campinas in 2024, establishing the event as an essential forum for researchers, students, and professionals interested in neuroscience applied to movement.
In 2025, the event returns to Porto Alegre for its third edition, further expanding its reach and scientific impact. It will take place on December 4th, 5th, and 6th at the Instituto de Ciências Básicas da Saúde (ICBS) at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS), Porto Alegre - RS - Brazil.
