2024 NYC Neuromodulation Conference



July 31 – August 4, 2024 | New York City, NY, USA | The City College of New York
Main sessions and events: August 1-3, 2024
Pre-Conference Workshops: Wednesday, July 31, 2024
Satellite Symposiums: Sunday, August 4, 2024

The 2024 NYC Neuromodulation Conference provides attendees with insights into the most timely and important advances in neurotechnology / neuromodulation. The past four NYC Neuromodulation conferences brought together hundreds of scientists, technologists and clinicians together in a dynamic curated program.

This year’s themes include:

  • Biomarkers of pain and depression: Guiding personalized neuromodulation.
  • Non-invasive and minimally invasive BCI: Application-driven technology.
  • Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) and Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS): New technologies transforming clinical practice
  • Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) with separate sessions devoted to image-guided personalization, coil design for depth and targeting, and accelerating clinical responses.
  • Dramatic advances in restorative neurotechnology: The future is now.
  • Connectomic neuromodulation: Advanced patient imaging to circuit therapeutics
  • New cognitive neuroscience: Inferring causality from brain stimulation.
  • Special technical track: Advanced tools in computational model driven design from image-derived models, scale and speed, and predicting neuronal/networks responses.
  • Special technical track: Approaches to closed-loop neurostimulation from hardware, to software, to clinical paradigms.

This year, the NYC Neuromodulation Conference “gets personal” in four ways:

  • - Grand theme across technical sessions: Optimized interventions are personalized interventions.
  • - Extensive networking opportunities spanning poster sessions, on/off-site social events, funder and investor panels, and new investigators opportunities.
  • - Utmost focus on attendee experience includes complimentary drinks and meals (breakfasts, lunches, opening receptions), work and networking conducive environments, online and in-person attendee services.
  • - Unmatched opportunities to promote your work including day-long poster sessions, Abstract online enhanced content, Abstract publication, and featured Abstract oral presentations on main stage.


The 2024 NYC Neuromodulation Conference will feature interactive sessions, panels, and social events. Our hope is attendees leave the meeting invigorated by expanding boundaries, new collaborations, and hope for neurotechnology and the human condition.

Hosted at the historic City College of New York with peaceful outdoor spaces, state-of-the-art conference facilities, surrounded by the vibrant Harlem neighborhood knows for its jazz clubs, trendy eateries, and multi-cultural heritage.
