Neuroergonomics 2026 Pre-Conference Workshops

Neuroergonomics 2026 Pre-Conference Workshops. The Neuroergonomics 2026 Pre-Conference Workshops will take place on July 13, 2026, at Boston University. The sessions will be hosted on the first floor of 610 Commonwealth Ave. Workshops run in parallel across three rooms and include hands-on technical training, translational neuroimaging applications, and emerging AI-enabled methodologies. The main conference begins immediately after these workshops with the opening Keynote talk. Featured Workshops & Topics. The pre-conference schedule features a diverse range of intensive, hands-on sessions designed for researchers of all experience levels:. Cortivision: A complete Diffuse Optical Tomography (DOT) and fNIRS research pipeline for studying brain activity in real-motion. This session utilizes a practical case study focused on Cognitive-Motor Interference (CMI)., NIRx: An introduction to fNIRS for real-world neuroscience, featuring theory, multimodal analysis, and live demonstrations., Human-Machine Teaming: Exploring cutting-edge techniques for real-time physiological sensing, unobtrusive measurement, and the ethical implications of monitoring in the workplace., Developing Brains in the Wild: Practical lessons for using portable neuroimaging—specifically fNIRS and electroencephalography (EEG)—to study pediatric neural responses during everyday activities like play and social interactions., LLMs in Neuroergonomics: A hands-on tutorial introducing locally deployed Large Language Models (LLMs) to support adaptive experimental control and BCI-informed interaction loops using Python and PsychoPy. Workshop Formats. These sessions offer flexible and interactive formats, balancing theoretical foundations with practical segments. Attendees can expect live demonstrations—such as real-time signal quality assessment and participant preparation—custom cap design tutorials, data acquisition walkthroughs, and collaborative roundtable discussions. Whether you are new to fNIRS or looking to integrate cutting-edge AI methodologies into your neuroergonomic research, these workshops provide practical takeaways to advance your neuroscience studies beyond the lab.
