Advancing Deep Brain Stimulation – Noninvasively

Temporal interference (TI) is a novel brain-stimulation technology that enables precise, noninvasive modulation of deep brain structures, a capability previously achievable only through invasive neurosurgery. TI has also catalysed significant engineering advances and provided new fundamental insights into neuromodulation.

This satellite workshop, held as a satellite of the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) Annual Meeting 2026, aims to equip participants with key knowledge and capabilities critical to the highest-standard implementation of TI stimulation in human brain research and clinical therapy development, thereby facilitating the translational impact of this rapidly growing field.

The workshop will feature interactive lectures, hands-on practice sessions, and open discussions to maximise knowledge transfer and foster collaboration.

Target Audience

The workshop is designed to provide essential in-depth knowledge and hands-on practice for a broad range of research professionals who integrate, or are interested in integrating, TI stimulation into translational brain research.

Four Thematic Sessions

The workshop is divided into four in-depth sessions, each combining interactive lectures with hands-on practice.

Flexible

1. Fundamentals

The concept of TI brain stimulation and the underpinning neuromodulation mechanism.

  • Principles of electrical neural stimulation and governing factors
  • The concept of TI electrical brain stimulation, including pulse TI, pulse width modulation (PWM) TI, and multi-polar TI
  • Biophysical mechanisms and experimental evidence
  • Hands-on waveform simulation practice

2. Equipment

Principal requirements of TI hardware, solution strategies, and performance testing.

  • Transcranial application of TI electrical stimulation (current drive, high bandwidth, channel isolation)
  • EEG and LFP recording during TI stimulation (IMD artifact mitigation)
  • MRI during TI stimulation (safety and RF artifact mitigation)
  • Hands-on equipment testing practice

3. Deployment

Principles governing deployment and best practices for safety, precision, and efficiency

  • Planning TI stimulation locus via electrode configuration and current ratio optimisation
  • Step-by-step setup procedure in humans (localisation, attachment, quality testing)
  • Best-practice documentation and reporting for reproducibility
  • Hands-on TI planning and setup practice

4. Applications

Challenges and strategies in developing TI stimulation into brain therapy applications.

  • A prospective framework for developing TI therapies
  • Examples of ongoing TI therapy development efforts
  • Lessons learned from other brain stimulation modalities
  • Panel discussion
