Toshev The City College of New York CONFERENCE OVERVIEW NYC Neuromodulation 2013 brings together pioneers and emerging innovations in Transcranial Electrical Stimulation. Cutting edge research, clinical trials, and techniques are introduced in a dynamic and interactive format. Learn how the field developed to its current state and the outlook for the next five years. Technologies covered include transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS), transcranial Random Noise Stimulation (tRNS), and High-Definition transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (HD-tDCS). Topics covered include design of clinical trials, integration with monitoring technologies (EEG), and deployable technology. Frequent opportunities to interact with speakers and attendees, sponsor exhibits, two large poster sessions (Brain Stimulation journal will publish conference abstracts online), two panel discussions, social events and a certification course provide plenty of networking, educational, investment and collaboration opportunities. There will be five NYC Neuromodulation Awards presented at the end of the conference including Best Poster ($1000 prize). Directed by Peter K. Toshev, the conference is chaired by Dr. Marom Bikson and hosted at the historic City College of New York in New York City. Join us for what will be a seminal event. SATELLITE EVENTS AND SYMPOSIUMS NYC Neuromodulation 2015 is surrounded by official “Satellite Symposiums” and independently organized “Affiliated” events.

Simulation and optimization output can be loaded directly into your Soterix tDCS and HD-tDCS stimulators. High-resolution current flow visualizations can be used to support publications, presentations and proposals. - Integration with monitoring technologies (PET, fRMI, fNIRS, EEG, MEG, eye-tracking, and others) EGI is a medical device company that designs, develops and commercialises a range of non-invasive neurodiagnostic products used to monitor and interpret brain activity. A key component of these products is EGI’s proprietary dense array electroencephalography (dEEG) platform technology. The dense array method gathers brain activity data from many more electrodes than conventional EEG products (up to 256), generating significantly higher quality and more precise levels of information. With regulatory clearance in the US, EU and a number of other major international regulatory bodies, the Company’s technology has been increasingly adopted as a powerful research tool and more recently as a cost effective and patient friendly clinical neurodiagnostic platform.
