Neuromodulation and Neurotechnology
Neuromodulation involves targeted delivery of electrical, magnetic, or chemical stimuli to modulate neural activity. This rapidly evolving field holds promise for treating conditions like chronic pain, depression, epilepsy, and Parkinson’s disease. This track will cover deep brain stimulation (DBS), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), spinal cord stimulation, and emerging wearable neurotechnologies. Topics also include implantable brain-machine interfaces and closed-loop systems that adapt stimulation in real time. Researchers and clinicians will explore safety, efficacy, and future applications of neurotechnology in both therapeutic and enhancement contexts. This track is ideal for those interested in merging engineering, neuroscience, and clinical innovation.
