I am very pleased to announce that the 14th Biennial Meeting of the International Pharmaco-EEG Society (IPEG) will take place in Japan for 4 days on Thursday, 7th, Friday 8th, Saturday 9th and Sunday 10th, September, 2006. The meeting venue is the Hotel "Anaga" on the Awaji island of Hyogo prefecture, famous for its beautiful scenery. I should like to have many people join this meeting from all over the world as well as from Japan. The International Pharmaco-EEG Society (IPEG) is a relatively young society founded by Prof. Stille and Prof. Hermann in 1980. The number of members has reached over 200, mainly from Europe. The purpose of this society is to promote the use of electroencephalography, electrophysiology and related functional methods, such as evoked responses, for electrophysiological brain research in preclinical and clinical pharmacology and related fields, and also to promote communications among members and relative institutions. Research techniques are mainly assessment of brain function by quantitative assessment of brain wave using high analytical techniques. Such brain functional diagnosis and assessment techniques are highly appreciated for their usefulness and widely applied clinically as an examination technique which gives patients no pain. Therefore, this technique will contribute to the advancement of the field of clinical neuropharmacology. As an organizer, I should like to make efforts to ensure the success of this international meeting, and hope that many people will join the meeting and provide us support for the success of this meeting. 　 　 8:50■ Opening Training Course 9:00■ Spatial models of EEG 9:50■ EEG recording methodology 11:00■ Basic EEG analysis 11:50■ Statistical methods for EEG data 14:00■ Advanced EEG analysis 14:50■ Functional imaging with LORETA 16:00■ PK/PD modelling 16:50■ Pharmaco-EEG in drug development Pim Drinkenburg 18:00■ Satellite Symposium 9:00■ Pharmaco-EEG in clinical drug developmen 9:50■ Electrophysiological evaluation of sleep 11:00■ QEEG applications in Psychiatry 11:50■ EEG, ERPs and sleep in rational psychopharmacotherapy 12:40■ Luncheon　Semina 14:00■ Opening of Symposium Session 1 Neurology　 16:00■ Session 2 IPEG Guidelines 17:30■ General Assembly of IPEG 18:00■ General Assembly of JPEG 19:00■ Gala 9:00■ Session 3　ERP approach to Memory and Inhibitory function 10:30■ Session　4　Epilepsy 12:00■ Luncheon　Seminar 13:00■ Poster Session 14:00■ Session 5　Pharmaco EEG 16:00■ Session 6 Neuro-imaging in psychiatry 18:00■ Satellite Symposium 9:00■ Session 7　Past and present of pharmaco-EEG as an ideal biomarker 12:00■ Luncheon　Semina 13:00■ Session 8　Aroma 15:30■ Closing Remarks
