We’re thrilled to announce the Epilepsy Research Institute Conference 2027.
Following the success of our inaugural conference in 2025, we’re bringing the epilepsy research community together once again on 20-21 May 2027 for two days of collaboration, discovery and shared ideas.
Join researchers, clinicians, people affected by epilepsy, funders and partners from across the community as we work together to radically advance research into epilepsy.
Early bird tickets are now on sale! Secure your place today and join us in 2027.

Delighted to see @LabWykes contributions to a study led by @ChristosMarkos and Kunyang Sui @DTUtweet with Rune Berg @neuroscience_dk published in @AdvancedScnce. @UCLIoN @DNS_UOM @GJBrainResearch @CntmMcr
ALT Multimodal layer-crossing interrogation of brain circuits enabled by microfluidic axialtrodes. https://advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/advs.202519744 In this work, we introduce a novel flexible microfluidic neural interface, termed the microfluidic axialtrode (mAxialtrode), a soft, multimodal device that integrates optical, electrical, and chemical sensing and stimulation capabilities into a single polymer-based neural interface. This next-generation tool enables us to interact with and monitor brain circuits across layers of neural tissue in ways that were not previously possible.

A new milestone in the treatment of severe neurological disability...
The first UK patient to receive a @neuralink implant used a computer just by using his thoughts hours after his surgery at UCLH.
Paul, who has motor neurone disease, joined the GB-PRIME study and is now exploring use of the technology in his daily life: buff.ly/QgoWtlt

📍fUSbrain #DAYS 2025📍
🧠Day 1 of fUSbrain #DAYS 2025 is underway in Paris!
This event brings together the international fUS community to share advances in brain imaging using functional ultrasound.
We are proud to support the event as a sponsor, and to contribute to today's program and special evening cruise on the Seine River.
✨ It’s been a great day for the fUS community, and a chance to show our ongoing commitment to neuroscience innovation worldwide.
