Abstracts
We would be delighted to review your abstract and give you the opportunity to present your work at Braincoder!
Our technical committee will review submissions and select them either for a talk or poster (please specify your preference in the Comment box during abstract submission). Authors, including invited and selected talks, industry stalls, and posters, should submit their abstracts by the submission deadline (20th December 2024).
To submit an abstract, you will need to create an account on the Sciencesconf platform. This is only necessary for abstract submission. Please note, you will still need to register separately using the link above.
Abstract submission NOW OPEN until 20th December 2024
Industry engagement
Braincoder is all about bringing academia and industry together to further the field of neural stimulation, so we would be delighted to have your company give a presentation, set up a stall, or sponsor the conference!
For industrial attendees, the conference fee is 340 EUR per attendee. A stall during the poster sessions is included in the price but is limited in size. If you need a stall to showcase your company, please submit an abstract.
In addition, if you wish to sponsor the event, please get in touch with us at braincoder@sciencesconf.org
If you have any queries about the conference, please get in touch by email at braincoder@sciencesconf.org
Brief history of neural stimulation
Neurotechnologies to stimulate the brain have advanced in scope, scale and novelty, benefitting countless numbers of patients and furthering our understanding of neural function. Our timeline is really a snippet of the huge number of accomplishments in the field in recent decades!
Probably the most well known and successful neural stimulation prosthesis is the cochlear implant, having recently surpassed the milestone of 1 million implantations globally. The field continues to move rapidly, promising novel technological approaches, algorithms and even artificial intelligence methods to enhance neural prosthetic technology and change the lives of patients with debilitating neurodegenerative conditions. In fact, brain-machine interfaces were recently named Nature Electronics Technology of the year 2023.
