22.-24.04.2026
Welcome to NAT’26 – Europe’s Neuroadaptive AI Conference
Day 1+2 - scientific conference
Brain Meets AI - Deep Science, Shared Curiosity
The first two days of NAT’26 are where BCI, neuroscience, and AI communities come together around a shared topic: neuroadaptive technology. Over two days of keynotes, peer-reviewed talks, and posters, experts from academia and industry engage in in-depth discussions on brain and physiological signals, intelligent adaptive systems, and real-world experiments — from closed-loop paradigms and user modelling to learning algorithms and interactive applications. These days are designed for scientists and industry experts who want to dive deep into data, models, while connecting with colleagues from other domains to exchange perspectives and co-create new solutions.
Day 3 - open conference
From Lab to Market - Translating Science into Impact
The third day is dedicated to translation of NAT and building industries on it – where breakthrough research meets real-world application. This day brings together startups, industry leaders, applied researchers, and investors who are shaping the future of AI-driven neuroadaptive technologies in health, mobility, education, gaming, security, human-computer interaction, and beyond. Explore how cutting-edge science becomes scalable solutions, discover emerging business models, and gain insights into regulatory, funding, and go-to-market strategies.
Last but not least, the conference will be open to all non-professionals who are curious about the topic on the final day.
