Submission Deadline:
October 12, 2026 at 1:00 PM CDT
Rather than relying solely on invited presentations, the NI 2027 agenda will be built through a Call for Proposals process. We are seeking ideas from across the community to help identify the most important scientific, clinical, technological, regulatory, and translational topics facing the field today.
Topic Areas
Whether you are developing next-generation technologies, advancing clinical applications, navigating regulatory pathways, exploring commercialization strategies, conducting foundational research, or advocating for patients, we invite you to contribute your expertise and help shape the conversation in the following areas:
- Clinical Applications & Therapeutics
- Neuroscience, Neural Engineering, & Neuroprosthetics
- Data, AI & Systems
- Engineering & Technology
- Translation, Outcomes & Adoption
- Ethics, Policy & Workforce

About the Conference
Neural Interfaces is where clinicians, scientists, engineers, industry leaders, investors, and government stakeholders come together to explore the therapies, devices, and ideas shaping the future of neural technologies and brain-computer interfaces and neuroprosthetics. For more than 50 years, this conference has served as a catalyst for innovation and collaboration. First convened in 1970 as the NIH Neural Prosthesis Workshop, this conference has evolved into the premier biennial meeting dedicated to advancing neurotechnology, including brain-computer interfaces, and neuromodulation.
