Announcing: Brainbox Initiative Conference 2026
Since launching in 2016, the Brainbox Initiative Conference has become a recognised hub for TMS, tDCS, TUS, EEG, fMRI, and multimodal brain research. Over the past decade, we have welcomed thousands of delegates, supported hundreds of early-career scientists, and created a vibrant community at the forefront of neuroscience.
In 2026, we are proud to celebrate 10 years of the Brainbox Initiative Conference. This landmark year will not only showcase world-class talks, posters, and workshops, but also reflect on a decade of discovery and look ahead to the future of non-invasive brain stimulation and imaging research.
Taking place on 1st - 2nd October 2026 at the prestigious Wellcome Collection in London, this conference is a must-attend for early-mid career researchers.
Submit an Abstract
We are encouraging any researchers working in non-invasive brain stimulation and imaging who would like to present their work at the 10th Annual Brainbox Initiative Conference 2026 to submit their research abstract.
The deadline to submit an abstract is the 4th of April 2026.
Poster Abstracts
The Brainbox Initiative Conference offers anyone presenting a poster the opportunity not only to display their work, but also the chance to supplement this visual display with a live three-minute pitch on stage to everyone in attendance of the conference. We have found these pitches to be a fantastic opportunity that challenges delegates to really consider the main take-away ideas of their work; provide invaluable experience of presenting work to a live audience; and, through reaching the widest audience possible, can open up some extremely promising avenues for networking and collaboration.
Call for entries closes on August 1, 2026. All additional materials (PDF poster and conference slides) must be submitted no later than September 7th, 2026.
