On November 3 and 4, 2017, 170 registrants participated in the 7^th Annual Mind-Body Interface Symposium held in Taichung, Taiwan. The meeting was very well organized, thanks to Kuan-Pin Su, M.D., Ph.D., Cherry Hui-Chih Chang, PhD and graduate students. Check out the excellent scientific program at  http://www.tsnpr.org.tw/programme.php where PNIRS was represented. Insightful presentations, interactions and discussions about Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine occurred throughout the meeting. Tentative plans are being developed for a full PNIRS_{Asia Pacific} symposium at the 2018 MBI meeting that will likely be held from October 25-27, 2018 in Taichung. Great science is happening in Taiwan. Follow new developments of MBI at www.facebook.com/tsnpr2016/.
