All are cordially invited to attend!

When: Thursday, October 1, 2026 @ 6:00 PM, IST

Where:  MFCEM Seminar Room,  IIT Kanpur & Online via Teams (Join Here!)

Date: 21st November, 2024

Venue: MFCEM, IIT Kanpur

Supported by a seed grant from IIT Kanpur and Rice University, this workshop united experts in clinical neuroscience, computational neuroscience, and neuroengineering to develop innovative solutions that transform neurological and psychiatric care. The goal was to foster collaboration, facilitate dialogue, and create synergies between clinical practitioners, engineers, and computational scientists. By integrating expertise from these fields, the workshop aimed at improving diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of disorders such as epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, depression, and other conditions resistant to conventional therapies. 

Participants engaged in discussions about neurotechnology advancements, including implantable brain devices, closed-loop neuromodulation systems, and brain-machine interfaces. Special focus was given to computational models that enhance device design, optimize neuromodulation strategies, and improve outcomes in clinical interventions. The event emphasized cost-effective, scalable, and clinically viable solutions for increasing access to neurotechnology, especially in low-resource settings.
