This year’s Conference features six concurrent symposia designed to address a breadth and depth of BRAIN-funded research projects. All of the sessions will be recorded, so you’ll have the opportunity to watch them on-demand for a full year! All session times are in Eastern Time (ET).

Concurrent Sessions on Monday, June 17, 1:00 – 2:30 pm 

  • High-density and High-resolution Neurophysiology to Reveal Local Microcircuits in the Human Brain
  • Imaging Outside-the-Toolbox: Novel Solutions for Large Scale and Deep-Tissue Imaging

Concurrent Sessions on Monday, June 17, 2:45 – 4:15 pm

  • Music: Building "Bridges" in the Brain 
  • Advancing Participant Engagement in BCI Research: Who, Why, and How?

Concurrent Sessions on Tuesday, June 18, 1:45 – 3:15 pm

  • Building on BICCN: Alzheimer's Disease Multimodal Atlasing Projects (AD-MAPs)
  • BRAIN Informatics in the AI Era

Attendees will also have the opportunity to join specialty sessions developed to connect the neuroscience research community with BRAIN Initiative staff, colleagues, and partners. 

On Tuesday, June 18 at 3:30 pm, attend “Meet the Funders,” an in-person networking event for trainees and researchers to meet and mingle with agency and organization staff to learn about funding opportunities. Representatives that will be in attendance include NIH BRAIN Staff, the Simons Foundation, the Dana Foundation, and the National Science Foundation.
