Next week from Monday until Wednesday (18th-20th of November) we are organizing a mini-symposim on Neural Interfaces wihtin the ICBT2019 conference in Hannover.
During the ICBT other super interesting mini-symposiums and keynote speakers related to Auditory Implants (Prof. T. Lenarz) and Mechanics of Hearing (Prof. H. Maier) will be organized. You are very welcome to attend! More information in the links below: http://www.icbt19.uni-hannover.de/mini-symposia/ Recent advances in engineering, computing and neuroscience are contributing to novel approaches to recover human senses and to treat neurological and mental disorders as well as understanding various function of the brain. These new approaches are based on the ability to stimulate and record neural activity with increased accuracy. New technologies including stimulation and recording devices as well as computational models permit the expansion and understanding of neural interfaces, devices that interact with the nervous system to restore or enable sensory and motor function. Examples of successful neural interfaces include cochlear implants for hearing impaired people, retinal implants for the blind, and devices for deep brain stimulation (DBS) for individuals with Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor and other motor symptoms. This session will include review studies and novel contributions in the field of retinal, cochlear and central auditory implants, deep brain stimulation implants as well as cortical stimulation and recording devices. Bringing researchers together from different disciplines working in different applications will bring synergistic effects and offer the opportunity to learn from each other’s field. Computational models may include:
