Topic: deep-brain stimulation

This joint meeting connects stereotactic and functional neurosurgery with multidisciplinary neuromodulation. The first day offers workshops on deep-brain stimulation programming, non-invasive stimulation, pain interventions, botulinum toxin and functional neurosurgical techniques. Subsequent plenaries and parallel sessions address psychiatry, neurosurgery, neurology and pain, including new technologies, clinical research and contributed papers. Sessions begin at 08:00 local time each day, with the final free-paper sessions ending at 17:45 on 9 May.

Chris Rozell discusses combining deep-brain stimulation, neural recordings and machine learning to study treatment-resistant depression. The conversation examines biomarkers of recovery, open- and closed-loop interventions, prediction of treatment responses and explainable models, while addressing the obstacles and interdisciplinary work involved in precision neuroengineering.
