Annual Meetings

Members of the group have convened at least once a year for a 2-3 day meeting, often in conjunction with meetings of major national/international professional societies. Beginning in 2017 the COSBID meeting was renamed the International Conference on Spreading Depolarizations (iCSD). Attendance is open to all. Click here to find information on our meeting this year.
