I am incredibly excited that the 2026 Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Think Tank is almost here. It is open to everyone (virtually on zoom) including scientists, clinicians, engineers, stakeholders and persons with disease. The event is being held on September 16–18, and the theme is “Navigating New Frontiers: Emerging Neural Circuits in Modern Neuromodulation.” The speakers are in person, and everyone else can attend on zoom. This meeting has always been about bringing together people who are willing to challenge conventional thinking, share new ideas and ask where neuromodulation should go next. This year will be especially exciting as we welcome Mahdi Azizian from NVIDIA as our special keynote speaker, bringing an important perspective on how AI, computing and emerging technologies may intersect with the next generation of brain therapies. Zoom registration is now open, and we hope you will join the conversation. The future of DBS will be built by bringing different disciplines, persons with disease, technologies and ideas into the same room. I cannot wait to see what emerges from this year's DBS Think Tank. https://fixel.ufhealth.org/think-tanks/deep-brain-stimulation-think-tank/deep-brain-stimulation-think-tank-xiv/
