Dallas, TX US
March 3, 2018

 

ONLINE REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED. ON-SITE REGISTRATION WILL BE AVAILABLE

 

This activity will be focused on new developments in neuromodulation, including brain machine interface devices, non-invasive modulation, and breathroughs in genetics. An emphaisis will be made on restoration of motor funtion after brain or spine injury and on restoration of cognitive function, especially memory. A participant in this activity will be able to describe emerging strategies for treating conditions such as quadriparesis, stroke, mild cognitive impairment, and Alzheimer's disease using neuromodulation.
