1002676PikovThe International Conference on NeuroProsthetic Devices (ICNPD) will bring together international investigators of all levels to Beijing, China in order to discuss recent research findings and to establish new collaborations in the new and exciting field of Neuroprosthetic Devices. The conference will take place on February 27-28, 2010, preceded by a six-week online discussion of issues that will be addressed at the conference. Main support for the conference is provided by two top research institutions in China, the Peking University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University, as well as by the National Natural Science Foundation of China. NSF support will expand the participation of junior US researchers at the conference by subsidizing their travel costs and publication costs for their short papers in the special conference-dedicated issue of an open-access journal Frontiers in Neuroprosthetics.The main conference theme will be the translation of the basic neuroscience and engineering research into clinical practice. There are multiple opportunities for the US and Chinese researchers to initiate collaborative projects in the development and testing of neuroprosthetic devices for multiple neurological disorders. At the conference there will be multiple discussion panels and poster sessions to stimulate the attendee interaction. The emphasis will be upon identifying the areas of possible collaborations and seeking to find the mechanism for jump-starting these collaborations, rather than simply to report on the research progress. Online resources will be created at the conclusion of the conference to highlight the successes in initiating the collaborations and to summarize the discussions which will take place during the conference.

1002676Pikov神经假体设备国际会议将把所有级别的国际研究人员聚集在北京，中国，以讨论最新的研究成果，并在新的和令人兴奋的神经假体设备领域建立新的合作。会议将于2010年2月27日至28日举行，在此之前将举行为期六周的在线讨论，讨论将在会议上讨论的问题。大会的主要支持由中国两所顶尖研究机构北京大学和上海交通大学以及中国国家自然科学基金提供。NSF的支持将通过补贴他们在开放获取期刊《神经假体的前沿》特别会议专刊上发表短论文的旅费和出版费，扩大美国初级研究人员在会议上的参与。会议的主要主题将是将基础神经科学和工程研究转化为临床实践。美国和中国的研究人员有多种机会发起合作项目，开发和测试治疗多种神经疾病的神经假体设备。在会议上，将有多个讨论小组和海报会议，以刺激与会者的互动。重点将是确定可能的合作领域，并寻求找到启动这些合作的机制，而不是简单地报告研究进展。将在会议结束时创建在线资源，以突出在启动协作方面取得的成功，并总结将在会议期间进行的讨论。
