The 10th Brainbox Initiative Conference for non-invasive brain stimulation and imaging returns to the Wellcome Collection, London for 2026.

See the latest updates

The Brainbox Initiative is pleased to welcome the 10th annual neuroscience conference, focused on non-invasive brain stimulation and imaging.

Join us between 1-2 October, 2026 at the prestigious Wellcome Collection in central London - a world-renowned venue exploring science, medicine, life, and art - for two days filled with some of the very best non-invasive brain stimulation and imaging research being carried out around the world.

This year, our programme will explore four distinct areas across the two days of talks, including:

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) techniques;

Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES/tDCS/tACS/tRNS) techniques;

Transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation (TUS/tFUS) techniques;

Neuroimaging and methodologies.

Since its inception in 2017, the Brainbox Initiative Conference has sought to highlight and promote the groundbreaking work being carried out by early and mid-career neuroscientists at the forefront of non-invasive brain stimulation research.

We offer our early-career neuroscience speakers the opportunity to share their work, research, and insights on stage side-by-side with world-renowned keynote speakers whose distinguished careers have helped to shape the field, as well as providing a supportive, welcoming, and inclusive environment to develop new connections and explore exciting new avenues for research projects.

As well as a range of stimulating talks, the Brainbox Initiative Conference programme is supported by a range of interactive demonstrations and exhibitions of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques in action, giving attendees the opportunity to see some of the latest technologies up close and personal and gain expert technical insights into the development of exciting new systems.

We also encourage all interested attendees to submit their own research to present a poster at the conference. Each year, we invite our cohort of poster presenters to join us on stage at the conference to share their research with everyone in attendance of the event - all presenters have the opportunity to support their research with a quickfire, three-minute live pitch to draw attention to the key takeaway messages of their research and spark interest in the conversations that take place in our evening poster hall gatherings. For 2026, the call for posters will remain open until August 1, 2026. LAte breaking abstract submissions open between 31 August - 6 September. Please bear in mind that spaces are limited and call for posters may close early. We recommend interested delegates submit an abstract early to avoid disappointment.

The call for entries for the Brainbox Initiative's range of awards are now closed for 2026. Please click the links below to find further information on:
