BrainModes 2022
Brain health and multiscale brain dynamics
November 18–21, Viña del Mar, Chile
About BrainModes 2022
The 2022 edition of the BrainModes conference is dedicated to the investigation of brain health through the computational analysis of multiscale and multivariate brain imaging data (EEG, MEG, fMRI, etc).
BrainModes 2022 will be complemented with a 2 day pre-conference educational course on a variety of topics related to brain health, neuroimaging, machine learning and computational neuroscience.
More about BrainModes
Founded in 2007, BrainModes is an annual international meeting focusing on innovative means of understanding complex brain activity and multimodal neuroscience data sets. The objective of these meetings is to foster informal discussion of brain modeling and multivariate data analysis (EEG, MEG, fMRI, etc).
The central motif is that of “modes” – how complex brain activity is organized around low dimensional manifolds.

Travel info
Viña Del Mar is a coastal city located approximately 120 km from Santiago, the capital city of Chile.
After arriving to Chile at the International Airport at Santiago (Aeropuerto Internacional Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez) you can reach Vina del Mar by one of the following options:
BUS
There is a very frequent service between Santiago and Viña, with lots of operators and comfortable seating usually available. The ride lasts for around 90 minutes and costs around 7 USD (6000 CLP) one way. Buses depart from Santiago at Pajaritos or Universidad de Santiago station (both Line 1 Metro stations), but Pajaritos is recommended as it avoids traveling through the city center.
To travel from the airport to Pajaritos or Universidad de Santiago stations, you can take a bus directly in the airport for 2 dollars (2000 CLP, Turbus or Centro-Puerto operators). The 2 main lines that travel to Viña del Mar are Turbus and Pullman Bus. The bus ends at Viña del Mar Station, (3 blocks east of DownTown and the Central Square). Taxis are available at this point.
CAR
You can order an Uber or a Cabify from Santiago (including the airport) to Viña. It’ll cost around 80 USD and you can pay with cash or card.
The travel time by car is around 90 minutes from the airport to the city center. Another option is to travel using a taxi service from the Airport to Vila, such as Transvip (90.500 CLP for up to 3 passengers, or 100.500 CLP for up to 7 passengers).
VENUE
The conference venue is located at the Adolfo Ibañez University Campus (Av. Padre Hurtado 750, Viña del Mar, Valparaíso, Chile).
There will be buses departing from Viña del Mar downtown to the conference, starting from Hotel Pullman and with priority for speakers.
Alternatively (or if there isn’t enough space in the buses) you can travel by taxi or Uber/Cabify from the hotel to the conference venue.
You can look for accommodation using Booking.com or other similar app. Most hotels are located near the city center, which is less than 10 minutes from the venue by car.
