Posted On: February 14, 2020

The CenteR for Advancing Neurotechnological Innovation to Application (CRANIA) is hosting its inaugural workshop as part of an Industry Partnership Day Workshop Series.

The half-day workshop is on February 21, 2020; and registration is open to all staff and researchers involved in neuromodulation research (maximum 70 registrants, first-come-first-served). The workshop will highlight state-of-the-art neural implants—with a focus on Novela Neurotech’s new Open Source Wireless Neuromodulation Research Kit (OpenKit).

The workshop is also a call for collaboration to further develop OpenKit. All research teams that employ electrophysiological techniques/protocols or are interested in learning about the future of neuromodulation therapies are invited to participate.

Ten event registrants will be selected to receive a complimentary OpenKit system, which features a state-of-the-art wireless and flexible neural implant, bluetooth communication module and a software suite with smartphone integration. The kit is open-sourced to promote collaboration and greatly advances multi-channel recording, data processing and sharing capabilities.

Event details are listed below:
