AI4BCI 2026
Artificial Intelligence for Brain–Computer Interface
AI for BCI 2026 is the first international symposium dedicated to advancing artificial intelligence for brain–computer interfaces, uniting researchers from machine learning, neural engineering, clinical neuroscience, and human–computer interaction. It focuses on rigorous work at the intersection of AI and BCI, covering invasive and non-invasive systems, clinical and consumer applications, with an emphasis on responsible, reproducible, and translational research.
