Content Density: Use the 6×6 Rule—no more than 6 bullet points per slide, and 6–8 words per bullet. Avoid dense paragraphs or reading directly off slides.

Slide 1: Title Slide

Title of the study, Abstract ID, Name of presenting author, Co-authors, and Department/Institution (Own Insitute & / PSI logos permitted on this slide only, PSI Logo can be downloaded from template ppt attached).

Slide 2: Background & Rationale

Brief context of the physiological problem and clinical/scientific relevance.

Slide 3: Research Question & Aim/Objectives

Precise hypothesis or primary objectives.

Slide 4 & 5: Materials & Methods

Study design, participant/animal model details, ethical approval number, physiological tools/techniques, and statistical tests applied.

Slide 6 & 7: Key Results

Focus on visual data: high-resolution graphs, tables, and clear micro-photographs/tracing figures. Avoid raw data tables with high value counts.

Slide 8: Discussion & Limitations

Core physiological mechanism discovered and main limitations of the study.

Slide 9: Conclusion & Translational Value

2–3 succinct takeaway statements highlighting scientific contribution.

Slide 10: Acknowledgments & References

Note: Funding agencies, laboratory team, and 2 key references in Vancouver format.

Submission Window: Presenters must upload and test their presentation at the Central Audio-Visual (AV) Desk at least 2 hours before their scheduled session block (or the evening prior for early morning sessions).

File Naming Format:

Oral_AbstractID_PresenterName_Topic.pptx

Media Assets: If your presentation includes videos or embedded audio (e.g., EMG/ECG tracings, animal behavior clips), keep files in the same folder and test playback compatibility at the AV desk. Personal laptops are not allowed at the podium lectern to avoid transitions delays.

Judges evaluate oral presentations based on a 10-point scale:

Scientific Merit & Originality	3 Points
Methodology & Study Design	3 Points
Data Visuals & Analysis	2 Points
Time Management	1 Point
Q&A Handling & Domain Mastery	1 Point
