[Announcements] [Meetings] [CFP] Call for Submission: NeuroDesign in HRI Student EXPO & Competition @ Neuroscience 2025

[Wang, Ker-Jiun]

Dear Colleagues,

We hope this information finds you well and aligns with your interests.

Are you developing a human-interactive robot, a wearable system, or a neuro-inspired interface? Do you have a prototype, an early-stage concept, or a compelling study that reimagines the future of human-machine interaction?

Thank you once again for your interest in participating in the NeuroDesign in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) Student Competition (previously with IEEE RO-MAN 2025). We truly appreciate your continued enthusiasm and support!

[??] We're thrilled to announce an exciting new update!

The NeuroDesign in HRI Student EXPO & Competition has been scheduled again as a “Hybrid” event (online + onsite), co-located with Neuroscience 2025 (https://www.sfn.org/meetings/neuroscience-2025) in San Diego on November 19, 2025.

This unique showcase welcomes undergraduate, master's, and PhD students to present their innovative work and engage in live, cross-disciplinary dialogue with an international jury of experts from

  * Human-Robot Interaction
  * Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI)
  * Cognitive Neuroscience & Psychology
  * Wearable and Soft Robotics
  * Design, Arts & Human-Centered Engineering
  * AI, Innovation, and Startups

Whether your project is a concept, a working prototype, or an exploratory study, we are excited to see how it challenges conventional boundaries and contributes to the evolution of neuroadaptive, engaging, and socially impactful technologies.
