ASNR Satellite Symposium and Social

The National Center of Neuromodulation for Rehabilitation hosted a satellite symposium and social gathering to kick off the 2023 American Society of Neurorehabilitation annual meeting.  Both events were held on the campus of Medical University of South Carolina in College of Health Professions Building A, a ten-minute walk from the annual meeting's venue at the Francis Marion Hotel.

This special pre-ASNR half-day satellite symposium synthesizes key topics in the area of brain stimulation and rehabilitation. The goal of the symposium is to present successful examples in which clinical questions and the development of neuromodulation technologies/theories were driving each other. With a panel of rehabilitation and neuromodulation experts who cover various disease mechanisms across the lifespan, this symposium aims at expanding the audience’s perspective on the creative interpretation of technological translation into the clinic. This symposium is structured around three 40-minute talks from senior researchers in neuromodulation and rehabilitation, followed by three exciting short talks by promising junior investigators.
