Welcome to The Brain and The Chip 2026
We are standing at the threshold of a revolution in neurotechnology. As intracortical neural interfaces transition from groundbreaking laboratory concepts to life-changing clinical realities, the boundary between biological intelligence and artificial systems is fading.
The Brain and the Chip 2026 is an inclusive, dynamic, and highly interactive forum for in-depth discussions on the latest advances in intracortical neural interfaces.
The meeting will bring together clinicians, researchers, engineers, and students from around the world to share ideas, exchange expertise, and build new collaborations across neuroscience, neural engineering, microelectronics, materials science, clinical translation, neurosurgery, neurology, artificial intelligence, ethics and neurotechnology.
By fostering dialogue between basic and translational research, the congress aims to spotlight emerging technologies and the scientific challenges that will shape the next generation of intracortical brain–computer interfaces, sensory feedback systems and neuroprosthetic applications. Participants will have the opportunity to explore recent progress in high-channel-count neural interfaces, biomimetic stimulation strategies and clinically relevant solutions designed to move the field closer to meaningful restoration of function and sensation.
Whether you are an established expert looking to spark new multi-disciplinary collaborations, a clinician eager to see the future of neurological rehabilitation, or a student ready to dive into the vanguard of science, The Brain and the Chip 2026 offers a unique space to learn, connect and contribute to a rapidly evolving area of intracortical neural interfaces.
Join us to exchange knowledge, challenge paradigms and actively shape the future of neurotechnology!
