Recording Date: January 21, 2025

Expiration Date: January 30, 2028

This recorded session from the 2025 NANS Annual Meeting explores the rapidly evolving field of ultra-high-density neural interfaces and their emerging applications in neuroscience, neuromodulation, and brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies. Expert faculty examine a range of high-density electrophysiological systems, including intracortical, thin-film surface, and depth electrode technologies, while discussing their potential uses in diagnostic mapping, therapeutic stimulation, research, and next-generation BCI development.

In addition to presentations on current technologies and clinical applications, this session features research abstracts highlighting advances in neural signal analysis, deep brain stimulation, and stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG). Through this activity, learners will gain a foundational understanding of ultra-high-density neural interfaces, explore their expanding role across clinical and research settings, and identify key technical and translational challenges facing this emerging field.
