Flagship Event: AI Meets the Brain

This session explores the rapidly emerging field where artificial intelligence and brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) converge. Advances in non-invasive neural sensing now make it possible to capture real-time signals related to attention, cognitive load, emotion, and intent. When combined with modern AI systems, these signals can be used to build technologies that adapt dynamically to human mental states, opening new possibilities for training, decision support, healthcare, productivity tools, and human-machine collaboration.

​Speakers

Jonathan Zwaan, CEO Zander Labs, who is building AI that understands, adapts to, and evolves with humans. Zander Labs develops non-invasive plug-and-play EEG sensors that record brain signals, interfaces that stand at the frontier of neuroadaptive technology to shape the next step in human-machine communication.

Prof Maryam Alimardini, Associate Professor in the domains of brain-computer interfaces (BCI) and human-robot interaction (HRI). With a PhD from the Intelligent Robotics Laboratory, Osaka University, she researches socially intelligent systems based on the user's neurophysiological responses to develop BCI systems that predict the user's affective and cognitive states.

Monique van Dusseldorp is a curator/moderator of tech events and part of the AI House team.
