Neural Interfaces 2025
Hosted by the North American Neuromodulation Society

June 12 – 14, 2025 │ Crystal Gateway Marriott │ Arlington, VA

Call for Proposals

Join us at Neural Interfaces 2025, where scientists, engineers, clinicians, patient advocates, ethicists, and industry leaders convene to advance neural interface and neuromodulation technologies.

We invite proposals for dynamic, solution-oriented sessions that foster collaboration among academia, industry, and clinical practice. Submissions are encouraged from both experienced and emerging voices in the field, whether from academia or industry or the patient community—especially those that highlight translational efforts and clinical applications, whether in animal or human subjects. Interactive and engaging session formats are highly encouraged to promote cross-disciplinary dialogue and audience participation.

Topics

Potential topic areas for the Neural Interfaces 2025 conference span a wide range of exciting advancements, from clinical applications to cutting-edge research in neuromodulation and neural interfaces, including: 

• Clinical Neuromodulation in Pain Management
• Clinical Neuromodulation for Movement Disorders
• Functional Electrical Stimulation and Neuromodulation in Rehabilitation
• Brain Computer Interfaces
• Machine Learning and Computational Models in Neural Interfaces
• Advanced Imaging and Neural Recording Techniques
• Device-Tissue Interaction and Neuroinflammation
• Regulatory and Ethical Consideration for Human Neuroprosthetics Trials
• Neural Signal Decoding and Cognitive State Detection
• Future Directions in Neuromodulation and Neural Interfaces

Session Formats

All proposals should be designed for 75-minute sessions, which will be selected and curated by the conference steering committee. To maximize engagement, breadth, and impact, each session should be thoughtfully structured to foster dialogue and audience participation. At least 20 minutes of each 75-minute session must be dedicated to audience discussion, Q&A, or other forms of engagement to encourage cross-disciplinary exchange and dynamic interaction.
