Interview with Dr. Errikos Maslias – 8th European Congress on Neurorehabilitation in conjunction with the 20th Congress of the Society for the Study of Neuroprotection and Neuroplasticity

Interviewee: Dr. Errikos Maslias

Interviewer: Ms. Stefana-Andrada Dobran

The 8th European Congress on Neurorehabilitation, in conjunction with the 20th Congress of the Society for the Study of Neuroprotection and Neuroplasticity, was held on 27–28 October 2025 in Torremolinos, Spain.

The landmark event highlighted innovations that are actively reshaping neurorehabilitation, including:

• Brain–Computer Interfaces: Advancing from theoretical concepts to real-world clinical applications for functional restoration.

• AI, Virtual Reality, and Robotics: Enhancing rehabilitation through more precise, personalised, and adaptive treatment protocols.

• Advanced Pharmacological Therapies: Developing agents that actively support and protect neuroplasticity.

• Multidisciplinary Collaboration: Emphasising that the most impactful innovations emerge at the intersection of multiple specialties.

Dr. Errikos Maslias is a neurologist and clinical researcher at Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV), serving as Chef de Clinique in the University Service of Neurorehabilitation, and specializes in the intensive rehabilitation of brain injuries and disorders of consciousness.

During the interview, he shared his perspective on the role of the ECNR in bridging research and daily clinical practice in neurorehabilitation, discussed emerging developments shaping the field, and highlighted the importance of artificial intelligence and rigorous clinical assessment in advancing patient care.
