InterfaceRice 2024 is designed to connect Rice University and the Texas Medical Center with global researchers and clinicians in the fields that encompass Neuroengineering, Neurotechnology, Neuroscience, and Neurosurgery. Over two days, InterfaceRice includes five sessions that feature leading minds in these fields, a poster session to showcase international research, panel discussions, and networking events. By bringing labs out of their respective research silos, we believe that our cross-discipline efforts will lead to new investigative ideas, furthering the field of Neuroengineering while building our national and international reputation as a leader in this vital area of science and engineering. Whether you are a research scientist, clinician, business leader, graduate student or other neuro-research and technology community member, we hope you will join us this April.

Keynote Speaker

Helen Mayberg, M.D.

Dr. Mayberg leads a multidisciplinary research program committed to defining the “neurology of depression.” Her imaging studies over the past 20 years have systematically examined functional abnormalities characterizing the disorder, as well as neural mechanisms mediating antidepressant response to various evidence-based treatments. The goal of her studies is to identify neurobiological markers predicting treatment response and optimized treatment selection. Her long-term interest in neural network models of mood regulation in health and disease led to the development of a new intervention for treatment-resistant patients using Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), a study initiated at the University of Toronto and now continuing at Emory.
