Advanced Neuromodulation and Neuromonitoring Workshop Banner

The Advanced Neuromodulation and Neuromonitoring Training Workshop 2026 by Soterix Medical is focused on fundamentals and advanced applications of non-invasive neuromodulation and neuromonitoring technologies including conventional and High Definition transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS/HD-tDCS), Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), transcranial Focused Ultrasound Stimulation (tFUS), Interferential Stimulation (IFS), transcranial Photobiomodulation (PBM), Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation (GVS), transcutaneous Auricular Vagus Nerve Stimulation (taVNS), and closed-loop transcranial Electrical Stimulation (tES) and monitoring (EEG, fNIRS, etc.).

This unique event covers a range of technologies in a two-day intensive format, giving attendees a broad understanding of the latest and best in the field. Each technology presentation culminates in a detailed product demonstration. The Workshop is geared toward student researchers, scientists, and clinicians who are new to or currently using noninvasive neuromodulation and neuromonitoring approaches.

  • The workshop registration fee includes breakfast and lunch for both days. Optional dinner with speakers and fellow attendees on April 17th (separate registration required).
  • Workshop attendees get a discount voucher to use towards product purchases.
  • Option to schedule one-on-one meetings to discuss your specific needs.

Group rate available at the Residence Inn by Marriot Times Square. Contact us for more information.
