Caltech at SfN 2026

Nov 14–18, 2026 Washington, DC ~21k attendees Website

Caltech brings 21 presentations to SfN 2026 in Washington. Its presentations centre on visuomotor planning, neural coding and decision-making, and brain imaging and modulation. One thread uses functional ultrasound to map how the human sensorimotor cortex encodes different motor effectors.
