NeuroErgonomics 2026

The Neuroergonomics Conference showcases a wide range of neurotechnologies. These advancements cover diverse areas, including critical care, well-being, and everyday life. The spectrum of innovations presented includes revolutionary invasive devices, targeted non-invasive approaches, and wearable technologies

The conference explores how these technologies benefit various fields, such as enhancing the performance of human operators, impaired patients, elderly or athletes. Moreover, it delves into cutting-edge concepts like brain-computer interfaces, neurofeedback, neurostimulation, or mixed/virtual reality. By incorporating a diverse lineup of speakers and topics, the 2026 Neuroergonomics program fosters a meeting culture that encourages the exchange of fresh ideas and facilitates meaningful connections.

2026 Conference Theme – Neuroscience of the Everyday World
Neuroscience research in humans has enabled decades of impactful discoveries but has primarily been limited to recording brain activity of immobile participants in a laboratory setting. In recent years, advances in neuroimaging technologies have enabled recordings of human brain activity to be obtained during freely moving behaviors and everyday life activities. Such mobile neuroimaging methods can provide unique insights into human brain function and contribute to the development of novel treatments for neurological and psychiatric disorders. Altogether, Neuroscience of the Everyday World has the potential to bring about a new era of human neuroscience in which neural mechanisms can be studied with increased ecological validity and with the ability to address key questions about natural behavior and cognitive processes in humans during real-world experiences.
