Neurotechnology Innovation Forum: Brain, Mind and Neurotechnology

October 12th-13th, 2024, Shanghai

Information

Mental health challenges persist worldwide. Nearly one billion people suffer from brain diseases globally. In recent years, the integration of neurotechnology and artificial intelligence in medical diagnostics, biomarker identification, and personalized interventions has offered new solutions for the treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Significant progress has been made in neuromodulation, brain-machine interfaces, and digital therapies to regulate neural functions for treating these conditions. The combination of neurophysiology, neural coding, and neuromodulation technologies will significantly advance the development and application of intelligent diagnostic and therapeutic methods for neurological and psychiatric diseases.

This sub-forum will bring together distinguished scholars from China, Europe, and Australia in the fields of neuroscience, psychiatry, and neurotechnology. Together, we will explore the understanding, simulation, and enhancement of human cognition and discuss the application of neurotechnologies and AI algorithms in the clinical practice of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Our goal is to provide solutions for the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of these diseases, contributing to the global fight against the growing brain health challenges.
