A new conference is born

The main mission of this newly founded conference is to foster West-East interaction and collaboration in the rapidly advancing clinical use of neuroprosthetics, and the specific aim of the first conference is to expose unique technological and neurological research opportunities in Taiwan. The conference sessions cover several key areas in the neuroprosthetic development, such as deep brain stimulation for treatment of Parkinson’s disease, vagal and deep brain stimulation for treatment of epilepsy, devices for hearing, and devices for overcoming muscle paralysis, as well as the microelectrode biocompatibility, and novel microelectrode technologies. Each of the six oral sessions will include a speaker from Taiwan and two international speakers.
