On September 29th and 30th, 2023, in Lima, Peru, significant days were marked, as the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel became the center of the Latin American Symposium on QEEG Electro and Quantitative Video 2023.
This symposium brought together a distinguished selection of internationally renowned speakers who shared their expertise and knowledge. Among the notable speakers were Dr. Alejandro Escalaya, Dr. Armin Delgado, Dr. Carolina Malamud, Dr. Clio Rubinos, Dr. Elliot Barreto, Dr. Jean Paul Vergara, Dr. Johnny Montiel, Dr. Jorge Burneo, Dr. Luis Carlos Mayor, Dr. Marlene Huamani, Dr. Mirla Vanessa Villafuerte, Dr. Nora Rojas, and Dr. Walter De la Cruz.
The topics that were covered ranged from “GENERATORS OF THE ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAM,” presented by Dr. Alejandro Escalaya, to “QUANTITATIVE EEG,” led by Dr. Luis Carlos Mayor. Additionally, crucial aspects such as “THE EEG REPORT,” presented by Dr. Marlene Huamani, “EEG IN COMA,” with Dr. Clio Rubinos, and “FOCAL EPILEPSIES,” presented by Dr. Walter De la Cruz, were discussed. Issues of great relevance in “CLINICAL CASES” were directed by Dr. Jean Paul Vergara, and “PERIODIC AND PSEUDOPERIODIC PATTERNS” were analyzed thanks to the expertise of Dr. Elliot Barreto.
