This year’s Neurotech symposium focuses on research into visual processing and its translation into technology. It will discuss the latest insights into retinal and cortical representations of visual information, into retinal degeneration and the state of technology intended for its treatment. In two panels with a total of ten talks, the symposium will show how the range from basic research to clinical research to clinical application can successfully be integrated, drawing on the expertise of CIN, NMI and corporate speakers.
The first panel concentrates on basic research, exploring what we know about the retinal and neuronal basis of vision: how is the visual signal pre-processed and encoded in the retina? Which are the channels that deliver visual information from the retina to the brain? What is the role of active gaze direction by the visuomotor system? And what mechanisms are active in retinal degeneration?
The second panel will provide an overview of the possibilities of neurotechnological solutions to these degenerative mechanisms, showing how far neurotechnology has come. The panel will feature talks on cellular therapies, two stimulation techniques (retinal and transcorneal), as well as the current state of retinal implants.
As part of the International MEA Meeting, Neurotech 2016 will conclude with that larger event’s official opening ceremony and opening lecture. The evening will close in a general get-together.
Philip Berens (CIN), Ziad M. Hafed (CIN), Thomas Euler (CIN), Matthias Bethge (CIN), Eberhart Zrenner (CIN), Ida Zündorf (Okuvision GmbH), Günther Zeck (NMI Reutlingen), Walter-G. Wrobel (Retina Implant AG), Sonja Kleinlogel (University Bern)

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
