ISCN 2027 · Cocoa Beach, FL · Aug 6–8, 2027Abstracts open
9th International Symposium on Clinical Neuroscience
The field's flagship congress

A peer-reviewed congress that isn't a review of literature. It is a congress that gives you a glimpse into the future of brain-centered health. It is hosted by the Carrick Institute, and now in its ninth edition.

WHAT ISCN IS
A peer-reviewed congress at the field’s intersections

The International Symposium on Clinical Neuroscience brings clinicians and scientists into one room around a single idea: that the nervous system reveals itself where the brain crosses another domain of human function. Eight themed symposia pair invited science with peer-reviewed submitted work.

“Understand the crossing points, and you understand the system.”

PRESENTED BY

The Carrick Institute

ISCN is presented by the Carrick Institute — a global leader in graduate-level clinical neuroscience education. For decades, the Institute has trained clinicians worldwide in functional neurology, neurorehabilitation, and applied clinical neuroscience, building the community of providers this congress convenes.

That heritage is what makes ISCN possible: a room of practitioners who already speak the language, gathered around the science that moves their work forward.

A TRACK RECORD

The Evolution of ISCN

In 2009 Tricia Carrick, Dr. Matthew Antonucci and the Carrick Institute hosted a groundbreaking symposium in functional neurology and clinical neuroscience, called SupraSegmental 2009. Over 500 delegates in the field of clinical neuroscience and functional neurology, from around the world, convened in Atlanta, Georgia with overwhelming enthusiasm.

Over the following years, they collaborated with other organizations to host annual functional neurology and rehabilitation conferences, contributing to the growth of the field.

In 2015, with a new, focused vision, they created the International Symposium on Clinical Neuroscience. This event instantly became a dedicated platform for researchers and clinicians to discuss the future of cutting-edge research, practical tools. But it also had a secondary effect; it created a global community, carrying forward the same passion that started it all, while evolving to meet the ever-growing needs of clinical neuroscience and functional neurology.
