Upcoming Neuromodulation Event

XIII International Symposium on Neuromodulation

OnlinePaid

November 21 - 24, 2021


Overview

The XIII International Symposium on Neuromodulation will take place from November 19th to 24th, 2021, completely online. Although we chose this method due to the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic, last year's virtual event was an absolute success and we will still have some didactic changes that will maintain an educational impact similar or even greater than previous events.

In addition, the event will feature a greater number of international speakers and also important names of national professionals. This year we will also have new topics such as the results of neuromodulation in the immune system and possible applications in COVID-19. Finally, we will also have smaller groups for online workshop training.
