BIBE-NIN' 24: Neural interface and Neuromodulation

This session will explore the emerging field of neurotechnology, focusing on two key areas: neural interfaces and neuromodulation. Neural interfaces offer a revolutionary way of interacting with the brain, potentially restoring lost function in people with paralysis, aiding communication in people with locked-in syndrome, and even enhancing human cognition. Meanwhile, neuromodulation can treat various neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease and epilepsy by electrically stimulating specific regions of the brain. In this session, several experts will present their recent advances in these two fields and explore the potential of combining them for even more advanced therapies. This session is timely and important as it looks to the future of biomedical engineering.

Prof. Shaomin Zhang, Zhejiang University
Professor | Doctoral supervisor
Dr. Shaomin Zhang is a PI at Qiushi Academy for Advanced Studies (QAAS) at Zhejiang University currently. He received his B.S. and Ph.D in Biomedical Engineering from Zhejiang University in 2002 and 2007. He has long been engaged in multidisciplinary cross-disciplinary research on invasive brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) and non-invasive neuromodulation, focusing on the neural mechanisms (motor control, neural coding and BMI learning), neural technologies (dimension reduction, transcranial electrical stimulation and neural imaging) and their clinical translational applications. He has published over 80 peer-reviewed papers in the areas of neural engineering and neuroscience. Dr. Zhang is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS), and the Society for Neuroscience (SfN).
