Neural Interfaces Conference

[psique]

This might be of interest to some of you:

There's video streams up of presentations held at the Neural
Interfaces Conference that took place June 16 - 18 in Ohio.

*"The Neural Interfaces research community consists of investigators,
supported by grants or contracts, who are working in areas that
include functional neuromuscular/ electrical stimulation, auditory
prosthesis, cortical prosthesis, neuromodulation, microelectrode array
technology, brain computer/ machine interfaces and other related
areas. The NIH DBS Consortium is an integral part of the Neural
Interfaces research community and is a core group of multidisciplinary
researchers funded under a series of NIH-sponsored programs to advance
technological innovation and further understand the sites and/ or
mechanisms of action of Deep Brain Stimulation.

The general structure of the conference calls for a focus on the DBS
for day one; day two will focus on neural prostheses for restoration
of motor and sensory function; and day three, finishing at 3:30pm,
will describe advances in cochlear prostheses and therapeutic effects
of stimulation. Similar to last year, there will be a limited number
of Platform Presentations; brief, oral reports designed to allow
selected poster presentations additional visibility as well as
stimulate discussions."*
