FRONTIER SERIES 2026  /
TRANSLATIONAL NEUROCOGNITIVE TECHNOLOGIES
/   Cognitive Neuroscience.  Responsible AI.  Clinical Application.  /

Örebro University and Lund University (Sweden) present the Frontier 2026 Talk Series centralising the themes of next-generation responsible neurocognitive technologies and translational clinical neuroscience. The series brings together researchers from neuroscience, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, engineering, and data science to explore the mechanisms of brain function in health and disease. The series emphasises interdisciplinary methodologies linking neuroimaging, molecular neuroscience, systems neuroscience, computational cognitive modelling, computer science, and cognitive science to drive innovation and societal impact with ecologically valid diagnosis, monitoring, and intervention in real-world clinical contexts.

Participation is free, and all interested are welcome. Special opportunities exist for student participants (refer below).
