The second edition of The Brain and the Chip will take place in Elche, Spain, from November 11-13, focusing on neural engineering, artificial vision, and intracortical brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). As the second edition of this congress, it aims to foster collaboration among researchers and specialists from fields like microelectronics, neurosurgery, neurology, materials science, and neural-inspired AI.

Focused on intracortical neural interfaces, the event seeks to advance technologies that can restore vision in blind patients, recover sensory and motor abilities in individuals with tetraplegia, and decode attempted speech in people with paralysis. Representatives from the blind community, patients with spinal cord injuries, and journalists are invited to contribute, ensuring a comprehensive dialogue that bridges technological innovation and real-world application.

By raising awareness beyond the scientific community, the brain and the chip 2024 aims to highlight the transformative potential of neural engineering and brain-computer interfaces. The conference aspires to make significant strides toward improving the quality of life for individuals living with disabilities by turning innovative ideas into practical solutions.

The congress also welcomes companies interested in these fields, offering opportunities for partnerships and collaboration. Posters showcasing current research are eagerly sought to enrich the event further.
