Neural Interfaces Conference




June 15, 2008

The Neural Interfaces Conference will be held June 16-18th, 2008, at the Intercontinental Hotel in Cleveland, OH (http://www.cleveland-conferencecenter.intercontinental.com/ ).

This new conference will build from the Neural Interfaces Workshop, an annual meeting supported by the NIH from 2004 through 2006 as well as the preceding Neural Prostheses Workshop which ran for 37 years in Bethesda, MD. With NIH funding support, the NIC will continue to focus on developments in neural prosthesis and deep brain stimulation fields.

In recognition of the growth of the neural interfaces field, the NIC represents an evolution of the meeting from a NIH-focused workshop, to a
conference for the community of scientists, engineers, and clinicians who are involved neural interfaces R&D.

Access to conference web-site will soon be available listing the plenary session titles, breakout session topics, and providing the timeline for
registration, abstract submission, and student travel support opportunities. Further announcements concerning the NIC will be made
through the Neural Interfaces Listserv - https://list.nih.gov/archives/nip.html.
