----------------------------------------- SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT ---------------------------------------

International Conference on System Level Approaches to Neural Engineering (ICSLANE)

We invite you to submit poster abstracts and apply for contributed talks

We introduced a one-day participation option: now you can attend one day of the conference for 80 Euros. The program per day with its outstanding list of confirmed speakers is already available here:

The aim of this interdisciplinary conference is to bring together theoretical and experimental neuroscientists, roboticists and microfluidics experts to present and discuss the state of the art in the field of neural engineering.

It is designed to provide fertile grounds for establishing collaborations between classical neuroscientists and leaders in the up-and-coming robotics and microfluidics fields to develop novel neural engineering techniques and

promote the understanding of the brain. It will also give the researchers an opportunity to present their work by contributed talks or during poster sessions.
