This non-CME session brings together experts in neurosurgery, neuroscience and neuroengineering to examine the current progress in the field of neural interfaces and brain-computer interfaces (BCI). The course consists of lectures on a wide range of topics, ranging from the practical applications of BCI to fundamental neuroscientific investigations applying brain-wide recordings to the study of neurological disorders. Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to interact with representatives from several start-up companies developing neural interfaces, with the goal of increasing awareness of the therapeutic potential of these devices and fostering collaborative relationships for the further advancement of the field.

Learning Objectives:

Discuss the latest advancements in brain-computer interfaces.
Assess the current applications of neural interface technology to the treatment of neurological injuries and neuropsychiatric disorders.
Identify future opportunities in brain interfacing and fundamental human neuroscience.
