CONFERENCE OVERVIEW
NYC Neuromodulation 2014 brings together pioneers and emerging innovations in Transcranial Electrical Stimulation. Cutting edge
research, clinical trials, and techniques are introduced in a dynamic and interactive format. Learn how the field developed to its
current state and the outlook for the next five years. Technologies covered include transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS),
transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS), transcranial Random Noise Stimulation (tRNS), and High-Definition transcranial
Direct Current Stimulation (HD-tDCS). Topics covered include design of clinical trials, integration with monitoring technologies
(EEG), and deployable technology. Frequent opportunities to interact with speakers and attendees, sponsor exhibits, two large
poster sessions (Brain Stimulation journal will publish conference abstracts online), two panel discussions, social events
and a certification course provide plenty of networking, educational, investment and collaboration opportunities. There will be five
NYC Neuromodulation Awards presented at the end of the conference including Best Poster ($1000 prize). Directed by Peter
K. Toshev, the conference is chaired by Dr. Marom Bikson and hosted at the historic City College of New York in New York City. Join
us for what will be a seminal event.

unrivaled focality and intensity control.
- Several state-of-the art tDCS platforms allow customization across population (stroke, pediatric, etc) and
blinding.
- Full set of accessories for efficient clinical application (including the exclusive EasyPads™ and
EasyStrap™) with our most advanced electrode gels.
- Revolutionary neurotargeting software suite for electrode montage brain targeting optimization and
individual subject customization. Simulation and optimization output can be loaded directly into your Soterix
tDCS and HD-tDCS stimulators. High-resolution current flow visualizations can be used to support
publications, presentations and proposals.
- Integration with monitoring technologies (PET, fRMI, fNIRS, EEG, MEG, eye-tracking, and others)
EGI is a medical device
company that designs, develops and commercialises a range of non-invasive neurodiagnostic products used
to monitor and interpret brain activity. A key component of these products is EGI’s proprietary dense array
electroencephalography (dEEG) platform technology. The dense array method gathers brain activity data
from many more electrodes than conventional EEG products (up to 256), generating significantly higher
quality and more precise levels of information. With regulatory clearance in the US, EU and a number of
other major international regulatory bodies, the Company’s technology has been increasingly adopted as
a powerful research tool and more recently as a cost effective and patient friendly clinical
neurodiagnostic platform.
