Program Theme
The brain represents one of the most complex systems in the whole world.
The scientific desire to unravel its complexity drives the innovations in new neurotechnology,
which in turn helps gain mechanistic insights into brain dynamics.
In addition to the fundamental neuroscience, the prevalence of neurological,
psychiatric and age–associated brain disorders in current society urgently demands the search of effective therapeutic solutions.
Such pressing needs propel phenomenal advancement as well as clinical translations of novel neurotechnology therapies.
Tohoku NeuroTech 2023, taken place in Sendai, aims to bring together leading academic researchers,
industrial partners, and entrepreneurs working at the intersection of neuroscience, technology, and innovation.
The meeting includes three major sessions.
Session 1: Integrated neurotechnology and fundamental neuroscience
Session 2: In vitro neurotechnology to decipher the brain
Session 3: Translational neurotechnology for understanding and treating the brain
This meeting will cover the following major topics – neuroplasticity, neural engineering, neuromodulation, brain–inspired computing, Brain–Computer Interfaces (BCIs), neuroimaging techniques and neuroethics.
In addition, Tohoku NeuroTech 2023 hosts NeuroTech Art exhibitions which features the innate entanglement between art, technology and science to explore the beauty, complexity, and mystery of the brain.
