Special Interest Groups (SIGs): 2005 AES Annual Meeting
 

Special interest groups (SIGs) are member-initiated groups focused on educational or research issues which appeal to a select and identifiable subset of AES members. SIGs can be active throughout the year and usually have a symposium-like meeting during the annual AES meeting.

The Epilepsy Therapy Development Project continues to support educational and research issues, and is pleased to provide the following selection of Special Interest Group (SIG) presentations given at the AES 59th Annual Meeting in Washington, DC.
