The complexity of the nervous system, which coordinates myriad and diverse electrical, chemical and other biosignals throughout the body, has led to the emergence of novel neuroengineering tools and techniques developed to facilitate understanding and ultimately neuromodulation for therapeutic applications. By leveraging insights, methods, and tools from across engineering disciplines, this meeting will explore the frontiers of neuroengineering and neurotechnology, and highlight opportunities for further advancement.
