About Neural Interfaces 2021: the NANS-NIC Joint Meeting

June 25-26, 2021 

The Neural Interfaces Conference (NIC) began as the annual “NIH Neural Prosthesis Workshop” in 1970 and grew over the years to become the leading conference for the neural interfaces research community. NIC provides a forum for state-of-the-art developments spanning basic science to clinical translation in neuromodulation/bioelectronic medicines, sensory prostheses, neural plasticity, biomaterials, microelectrode array technology, brain computer/machine interfaces, and other related areas. Now in its 44^th cycle and in partnership with the North American Neuromodulation Society (NANS), the NANS-NIC Joint Meeting is envisioned as a forum where basic scientists, engineers, and clinicians develop solutions for key issues to unlock the true promise of neural interfaces to impact patient health. NIC is arranged as a set of community suggested plenary sessions to address critical driving questions important to move the field forward. NIC has always stressed ‘parallel translation,’ where a diverse group of scientists, engineers, clinicians, regulatory specialists, and government officials meet to facilitate a quicker, safer, and more effective path from basic science finding to clinical impact. 

For 2021, the Neural Interfaces Conference (NIC) Steering Committee is partnering with the North American Neuromodulation Society (NANS) to produce a virtual meeting on June 25 and 26, 2021.

Additional information and updates about the NANS-NIC Joint Meeting will be available soon.
