The Congress program, “Neuromodulation: From Scientific Theory to Revolutionary Therapy,” will be organized in accordance with EACCME and ACCME guidelines and will further the INS’s educational mission to promote improvement in patient health care by providing physicians and allied health care professionals with high quality, evidence-based educational content focusing on advances in the field of neuromodulation; basic, translational and clinical research; new technology; and global health care. The overarching goals are to enhance learners’ knowledge, competence and performance to improve patient access, selection, safety and clinical outcomes.

The Scientific Program Chairs and Biennial Congress Scientific Committee are particularly interested in proposals featuring basic science, mechanisms of action, and biomedical engineering, and will consider the full breadth of neuromodulation-related topics as follows:

1. Basic Science of Neuromodulation
2. Neuroprosthetics and Neural Engineering
3. Socioeconomics of Neuromodulation

4a. Brain: Movement Disorders
4b. Brain: Psychiatric Disorders
4c. Brain: Epilepsy
4d. Brain: Neurorehabilitation
4e. Brain: Non-Invasive Stimulation
4f. Brain: Computer Interface / Artificial Intelligence

5a. Spinal Cord: Pain
