 ptogenetic Stimulation of the Auditory Pathway\nTobias Moser\, University 
 Medical Center Goettingen\n\nProf. Dr. Tobias Moser is a neuroscientist\, 
 otologist\, and audiologist at the Göttingen Campus. Since 2015\, he dire
 cts the Institute for Auditory Neuroscience at the University Medical Cent
 er Göttingen and leads research groups at the German Primate Center and t

 ne. His main areas of research are synaptic coding and processing of audit
 ory information as well as innovative approaches to the restoration of hea
 ring in the deaf.\n\n\nThe design and deployment of bioelectronic platform
 s for translational neuroscience\nTim Denison\, Oxford University\n\nProf.
  Tim Denison holds a join appointment in Engineering Science and Clinical 
 Neurosciences at Oxford\, where he explores the fundamentals of physiologi
 c closed-loop systems. Prior to that\, Tim was a Technical Fellow at Medtr
 onic PLC and Vice President of Research & Core Technology for the Restorat
 ive Therapies Group\, where he helped oversee the design of next generatio
 n neural interface and algorithm technologies for the treatment of chronic
  neurological disease. In 2012\, he was awarded membership to the Bakken S
 ociety\, Medtronic’s highest technical and scientific honor\, and in 201
 4 he was awarded the Wallin leadership award\, becoming only the second pe
 rson in Medtronic history to receive both awards.  In 2015\, he was elect
 ed to the College of Fellows for the American Institute of Medical and Bio
 logical Engineering (AIMBE). Tim received an A.B. in Physics from The Univ
 ersity of Chicago\, and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from M
