S01 Technological Advances and Innovations in Neuromodulation Featured

1:30 PM - 3:00 PM Saturday, July 17

Neuromodulation technologies are becoming more personalized to individual patients. New developments in spinal cord stimulation technology and indications and brain-machine interfaces are leading the way for gathering data from individuals with more precision and higher resolution. In addition, advances in focused ultrasound offer promising indications beyond the treatment of movement disorders. Such developments can lend better control, efficacy, and flexibility in neuromodulation.
