How it works

Submit first — register if accepted

You don't need to register to submit. Anyone can put their work forward. If your poster is accepted, you'll confirm your place by registering at the standard rate.

1
Submit

Send your poster for peer review — no registration or payment required to apply.

2
Review

The Scientific Committee evaluates every submission against the published rubric.

3
Register

If accepted, register at the standard rate by the confirmation deadline to claim your place.

4
Present

Show your poster at ISCN 2027 — and join the official program.

What you agree to: by submitting, you confirm that if accepted you'll register at the standard rate by the stated deadline to present. Accepted posters not confirmed by the deadline are released so the place can go to someone else.

Who should submit

Show your research

The poster track is the heart of ISCN's open science — and the home of the Young Investigator Awards. It's especially suited to students, residents, and early-career researchers, but open to anyone with work to show. Posters are displayed across all three days, judged throughout, and the strongest become finalists.

The Young Investigator path

Poster submissions are eligible for the Young Investigator Awards. Posters are assessed across the congress; finalists are selected, and the top three present live on the final day before the winners are named at the Closing Ceremony.

What you'll need

Two parts: the authors, and the work

A poster represents a body of research, so we capture the full author team and the study behind it. Have these ready before you start.

1
The authors
  • Full author list, with affiliations required
  • Presenting author — clearly identified required
  • Contact for the presenting author — email & phone required
  • Young Investigator eligibility — is the presenter a student, resident, or early-career researcher? required
  • Presenting author headshot — for the program & app
2
The work
  • Title required
  • Submission type — research, clinical translation, review, case-based, or technology/methods
  • Structured abstract — up to 500 (excluding referendces) required
  • Evidence statement & up to 5 references
  • Ethics / IRB statement — for any human or animal research required
  • Funding sources & conflict-of-interest disclosure required
  • Originality statement — published or under review elsewhere?

How it's reviewed

What the committee looks for

The Review Rubric
  • Scientific rigor — sound evidence, defensible conclusions.
  • Relevance — fit with clinical & integrated neuroscience.
  • Originality — does it add something?
  • Translational impact — does it change understanding or practice?
  • Clarity — is the poster readable and well-structured?
The translational gate

We welcome new science and well-made clinical teaching — but not anecdote or product promotion without an evidence basis. Every accepted poster can answer one question: what is this built on?

What you get

What presenting earns you

🏆
Award eligibility

If you're accepted

What to expect

A few things worth knowing up front — so there are no surprises after acceptance.

📐
Poster format

You'll receive the size and format specification (dimensions, orientation, and whether printed or digital) on acceptance. Build to spec.

On display all three days

Posters are shown throughout the congress and assessed during dedicated poster sessions — maximum visibility for your work.

🏆
The Top 3 present live

If selected as a finalist, you'll present live on the final day before the Young Investigator winners are named. Be ready to stand by your work.

🧑‍🔬
Be at your poster

The presenting author should be available during poster-assessment windows to discuss the work with judges and attendees.

📅
Hold your dates

Please hold all conference dates; poster sessions and the finalist round are scheduled across the congress.

The agreement

If accepted, you commit to register and present. Accepted posters not confirmed by the deadline are released.

Heart-Rate Variability Biofeedback as an Adjunct in Persistent Post-Concussion Dizziness: A Pilot Study

A. Rivera, J. Okonkwo, M. Singh · [Affiliation] · Presenting author: A. Rivera · Original Research
Background

Autonomic dysregulation is increasingly implicated in persistent post-concussion symptoms, yet targeted autonomic interventions remain underused in vestibular rehabilitation. We examined whether heart-rate variability (HRV) biofeedback, added to standard vestibular therapy, improves dizziness outcomes.

Methods

Thirty adults with post-concussion dizziness persisting beyond 12 weeks were assigned to standard vestibular rehabilitation alone or with 6 weeks of daily HRV biofeedback. Outcomes were the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) and resting HRV, measured at baseline and 6 weeks.

Results

The biofeedback group showed a greater mean DHI reduction (−22.4 vs −11.8 points) and a larger increase in resting HRV. Differences were consistent across age groups; no adverse events were reported.

Conclusion

Adding HRV biofeedback to vestibular rehabilitation may accelerate recovery from persistent post-concussion dizziness. Findings are preliminary and warrant a larger controlled trial.

Ethics / IRB: approved by [Institution] IRB, protocol #00000. Funding: none. References: 5 · COI: none declared.
Questions

Before you submit

Can I submit more than one?

Yes. Upto TWO submissions are welcome — submit each separately. You're also welcome to submit a microlearning talk.

Do I have to be registered to submit?

No — submission is open to all. But if accepted, you'll register at the standard rate to present.

What size should my poster be?

You'll get the exact format and dimensions specification on acceptance, so you can build to spec. Don't print before then.

Who reviews my submission?

The ISCN Scientific Committee, against a published rubric: rigor, relevance, originality, translational impact, and clarity.

Do I keep the rights to my work?

Yes. You retain your work; submitting grants ISCN permission to include it in the program and any recording.
