6th Neural Engineering International Conference Nov 6-8 2013, San Diego, CA

本次研讨会将解决神经工程界的需要，以满足和解决在神经接口领域的进展所面临的一些主要问题，在第六届国际神经工程会议之前，该会议将在神经科学学会会议之前在圣地亚哥举行。 目前在神经系统（外周和中枢）之间的界面处存在未解决的问题，这些问题阻碍了治疗的临床实施。这些问题涉及工程和神经科学，特别是生物相容性，机械性能，材料性能，电化学，神经组织修复和免疫反应。特别是突出的好处将来自神经修复术领域，了解大脑电路，设计大脑和神经调节，其中可以直接干预以控制或调节神经系统。将根据会议讨论情况编写一份报告，为今后可能的方案提供指导。

This workshop will address the need for the neural engineering community to meet and address some of the major problems facing the progress in the area of Neural Interfacing in before the 6th International Neural Engineering Conference that will take place in San Diego just prior to the Society for Neuroscience meeting. There are currently unsolved problems at the interface between the nervous system (both peripheral and central) that prevent clinical implementation for therapy. These problems involve both engineering and neuroscience and in particular, biocompatibility, mechanical properties, materials properties, electrochemistry, neural tissue repair and immune response. In particular outstanding benefits will be derived from the area of neuro-prosthetics, understanding the brain circuitry, engineering the brain and neuro-modulation where it is possible to intervene directly to control or modulate the nervous system. A report will be developed based on the meeting discussions to provide guidance for possible future programs.
