6th International Workshop on Translation of Neurotechnologies
West China Xiamen Hospital
Xiamen, China
Friday, April 17 – Sunday, April 19, 2026
Abstract
Brain-computer interface (BCI) research has produced thousands of demonstrations showing that direct interactions with the brain can provide meaningful and otherwise unattainable benefits. However, with few exceptions, this research has not yet translated into solutions that improve the lives of a large numbers of people. In this latest installment of our popular workshop series, we again explore how neuroscientific insight and engineering capability can be combined to create clinically and commercially successful neurotechnologies. In this workshop, 20 world-renowned speakers from 9 countries will discuss theoretical and practical aspects of designing, implementing, and testing invasive and non-invasive neurotechnologies to address important unmet needs.
