About iGES

The International Gastrointestinal Electrophysiology Society (iGES) aims to foster research into the understanding of electrophysiology in the smooth muscle and ICC cells in the stomach, small intestine and colon. We also aim to improve knowledge about the modulation of gastrointestinal activity by pacing or stimulating and the analysis of non-invasive recordings of the body surface electrical (EGG) and magnetic (MGG) fields. iGES was formerly known as the International Electrogastrographic Society (IEGGS).

The society meets each year, typically during the annual Digestive Diseases Week (DDW) conference.
