Thank you to everyone who joined us during an all day zoom meeting of the 7th annual think tank on Thursday Sept 5, 2019.
Agenda with Videos
This year’s deep brain stimulation think tank brought together 100 of the top minds in the field of neuromodulation. The key note speaker was Scott Barry Kaufman author of Wired to Create.
We are excited to announce that in addition to the proceedings paper your individual papers were published to Frontiers in Neuroscience under the topic: “Deep Brain Stimulation Think Tank: Updates in Neurotechnology and Neuromodulation Research.”
