SATELLITE EVENTS AND SYMPOSIUMS
NYC Neuromodulation 2015 is surrounded by official “Satellite Symposiums” and independently organized “Affiliated” events. Access to all “Satellite Symposiums” is included in the NYC Neuromodulation conference registration and open to all conference
participants. Satellite Symposiums are all held on Friday Dec Jan 9 at The City College of New York conference venue, in the hours preceding the official conference opening. Individuals not registered for NYC Neuromodulation 2015 may separately purchase
tickers I individual symposium events. Currently scheduled Satellite Symposiums include
Using imaging to design targeted stimulation protocols. Organizer: EGI
Technical course of modeling transcranial electrical stimulation. Organizer: Simpleware and The City College of New York Working group on tDCS in speech rehabilitation
“Affiliated” events are independently organized. Separate registration for affiliated events if required. Access to affiliated events is NOT included in the registration to NYC Neuromodulation Conference tickets. Tickets for affiliated events are available through the
NEUROMODEC ticket store, so be sure to purchase them with your registration. Currently scheduled Affiliated Event include

CONFERENCE OVERVIEW
NYC Neuromodulation 2014 brings together pioneers and emerging innovations in Transcranial Electrical Stimulation. Cutting edge research, clinical trials, and techniques are introduced in a dynamic and interactive format. Learn how the field developed to its
current state and the outlook for the next five years. Technologies covered include transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS), transcranial Random Noise Stimulation (tRNS), and High-Definition transcranial
Direct Current Stimulation (HD-tDCS). Topics covered include design of clinical trials, integration with monitoring technologies (EEG), and deployable technology. Frequent opportunities to interact with speakers and attendees, sponsor exhibits, two large
poster sessions (Brain Stimulation journal will publish conference abstracts online), two panel discussions, social events and a certification course provide plenty of networking, educational, investment and collaboration opportunities. There will be five
NYC Neuromodulation Awards presented at the end of the conference including Best Poster ($1000 prize). Directed by Peter
K. Toshev, the conference is chaired by Dr. Marom Bikson and hosted at the historic City College of New York in New York City. Join us for what will be a seminal event.

EGI is a medical device company that designs, develops and commercialises a range of non-invasive neurodiagnostic products used to monitor and interpret brain activity. A key component of these products is EGI’s proprietary dense array electroencephalography (dEEG) platform technology. The dense array method gathers brain activity data from many more electrodes than conventional EEG products (up to 256), generating significantly higher
quality and more precise levels of information. With regulatory clearance in the US, EU and a number of other major international regulatory bodies, the Company’s technology has been increasingly adopted as a powerful research tool and more recently as a cost effective and patient friendly clinical neurodiagnostic platform.
- Transformative and proprietary High-Definition tDCS (HD-tDCS) technology allowing targeted tDCS for
unrivaled focality and intensity control. - Several state-of-the art tDCS platforms allow customization across population (stroke, pediatric, etc) and
blinding. - Full set of accessories for efficient clinical application (including the exclusive EasyPads™ and
EasyStrap™) with our most advanced electrode gels. - Revolutionary neurotargeting software suite for electrode montage brain targeting optimization and
individual subject customization. Simulation and optimization output can be loaded directly into your Soterix tDCS and HD-tDCS stimulators. High-resolution current flow visualizations can be used to support publications, presentations and proposals.
- Integration with monitoring technologies (PET, fRMI, fNIRS, EEG, MEG, eye-tracking, and others)
Leveraging the most advanced scientific understanding, Soterix Medical technology is at the forefront of neuromodulation clinical trials for the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders and rehabilitation. Soterix offers the most sophisticated non-invasive neuromodulation and brain stimulation technology for researchers and clinicians who require the highest industry standards in performance.
