We are opening NAT’26 in Berlin to a broader conversation about neuroadaptive technology. (www.neuroadaptive.org) On 22–24 April 2026 at the Weizenbaum Institute, we are running NAT’26 in a new 3-day format that makes one thing explicit: neuroadaptive systems sit at the interface of BCI research, AI engineering, product reality, and societal negotiation. If we want these systems to matter, we have to build the bridge, not just talk about it. Days 1–2 (Apr 22–23): Science Research talks, posters, workshops, keynotes. The usual scientific rigor, plus an explicit focus on what transfers and what does not. Day 3 (Apr 24): Transfer Day, public access A day designed to connect research to application, policy, and entrepreneurship. With contributions and discussion across academia, industry, and society, including perspectives on deep tech funding and social acceptance. Call for contributions The submission deadline is extended to 15 February 2026. We welcome novel results, and we also explicitly invite already published work if it helps structure the landscape for a new audience. If you are a PhD student or early-career researcher, consider submitting research plans. The community feedback is often the highest value per page you will get all year. If your work links brain signals and intelligent systems, methodologically, experimentally, or as a credible pathway, it is likely a good fit. Examples include: BCI for interaction, adaptation, and communication physiology-based HCI real-world cognitive and physiological state monitoring rehabilitation, assistive tech, wearables robustness and generalization in BCI immersive and VR neuroadaptivity connections between neuroadaptive technology and large-scale AI models If you want to join, submit, or simply register, all details are here: https://lnkd.in/dRAUkv5D #NeuroadaptiveTechnology #BCI #HumanComputerInteraction #AI #Neuroscience #PhysiologicalComputing #Berlin #WeizenbaumInstitute #DeepTech
