INS and NANS: A Global Network
In 1995, NANS became the first chapter of the International Neuromodulation Society (INS) and remains its largest. INS is a global nonprofit encompassing 24 chapters and, similar to NANS, its membership includes clinicians, scientists and engineers dedicated to the scientific development and awareness of neuromodulation.
Neuromodulation: Technology at the Neural Interface is the official journal of INS and NANS members receives a subscription to the journal as a membership benefit. NANS members also receive a discount to attend the biennial INS World Congress.
NANS members automatically belong to the multidisciplinary International Neuromodulation Society (INS).
