NEUROTECHNIX 2013 - International Congress on Neurotechnology, Electronics and Informatics (NEUROTECHNIX 2013)

Conference Name: International Congress on Neurotechnology, Electronics and
Informatics (NEUROTECHNIX 2013)
Venue: Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal
Event Date: 19-21 September, 2013
Scope
The first research works on neurotechnology can be dated back nearly half a
century, but it is in the XXI century that most significant advances are being
witnessed. Neurotechnology shows a very high potential of enhancing human
activities, involving technologies such as biometrics, robotics, brain imaging,
brain computer interfaces, and other combinations of neurological and
biomedical knowledge with engineering technologies.
This conference will be a meeting point of both clinical and engineering
professionals, academics and practitioners. It will promote translational
discussions on how technology can meet clinical needs of both clinical
practitioners and persons with neurological disorders.
Neurotechnix will emphasize research and application of neurotechnologies to
different neurological disorders, such as: Neuromuscular diseases, Parkinson
disease, Developmental disorders, Dementia , Epilepsy, Sleep disorders,
Multiple Sclerosis, Neuroinfections, Brain Tumors, Stroke, Traumatic brain
injuries, Cerebral Palsy, Spinal Cord Injury, Vision and Hearing disorders,
among others.
Authors are invited to submit innovative research work that highlights new
advancements of neurotechnology either in general or regarding a particular
case, application or pathology. New ideas on how to approach neurotechnology
challenges and issues will arise from the conference. Both clinical and
engineering viewpoints are expected. Papers describing case studies, advanced
prototypes, systems, tools and techniques and general survey papers indicating
future directions are encouraged. Papers should describe original work in any
of the topics listed below.
Presentations will confront engineering and clinical viewpoints for building
consensus around the following areas:
1) new interventions,
2) objective evaluation and assessment of therapeutic programs,
3) assisted diagnosis,
4) effective implementation of technology driven services in neurological
diseases.
