Tech to transform human-machine interaction with brain data wins €30M

German-Dutch startup Zander Laboratories has secured €30mn in funding from Germany’s Cyber Agency to transform the interaction between humans and machines. Notably, this is the largest single-financed research project in the EU to date. The startup beat four other contenders who competed for the government’s “Secure Neural Human-Machine Interaction” proposal call in October. Zander Laboratories took home the price thanks to its “Neuroadaptivity for Autonomous Systems” (NAFAS) project, which aims to tackle a persistent difficulty for machines: understanding human emotions, cognitive decision-making, and mental states. Towards an intuitive interaction between human and machine NAFAS employs a passive Brain-Computer Interface (pBCI),…
