Human Single-Neuron Meeting 2025

The 7th International Human Single-Neuron meeting took place November 13-14th, 2025, at the Chen Institute of the California Institute of Technology. 

Thank you all for attending ! It was wonderful to learn about your exciting new science, to see the incredible progress that has been made, and to see such a broad spectrum of people excited about the field and conference. We would like to thank again all our sponsors, hosts, organizers, and on-the-ground staff for making the conference possible. Thank you! Please see below for the group picture that we took on the first day.

This meeting is by design scheduled immediately prior to SfN in San Diego, which will start on November 15th, 2025. 

This event consists of two full days of invited talks, posters and short talks selected from an open call, exhibits from our sponsors, and opportunities for networking and interaction.

Meeting summary: The goal of the meeting is to hear about new, exciting results and developments in the field of human single-neuron recordings, as well as closely adjacent work, including animal work. 

Topics: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: memory, learning, attention, language, faces, executive function, motor control, brain-machine interfaces, mechanisms (oscillations, inter-areal interactions), pathophysiology of disease, multi-species comparisons, multi-modal comparisons, techniques including electrode development, analysis techniques, new computational methods, new processing tools applicable to human data, new surgical techniques, work based on ex-vivo human slices or tissue (single-cell sequencing, recordings), and ethics as it relates to working with human participants or tissue.

Call for abstracts:  Please see here. Submission deadline was June 29th. Decisions were released on August 7th.

Registration: Registration is closed. If you cannot make the conference anymore, please email us.
