Neural Bridges, the final workshop of the HybridNeuro project, was successfully held from 9 to 12 December 2025, bringing together leading experts in neural interfaces, movement science, and neurorehabilitation. The event convened researchers and clinicians working on EEG, surface and intramuscular high-density electromyography (HDEMG), movement augmentation, motor restoration, and rehabilitation.

The lectures showcased the latest scientific outcomes of the HybridNeuro project, highlighting significant advances in the sensitivity, robustness, and temporal resolution of corticomuscular coupling assessment. These methodological developments enable more precise analysis of the dynamic interactions between the brain and muscles, providing new insights into neural control of movement.

Participants also explored current and future perspectives in movement augmentation, including the degrees of freedom encoded in neural signals governing activity of skeletal muscles. In addition, the workshop addressed key clinical challenges and future directions in neurorehabilitation, with a particular focus on stroke recovery and pathological tremor. Valuable clinical insights were contributed by experts from Institut Guttmann (Spain) and University Medical Centre Ljubljana (Slovenia).

Alongside scientific and clinical sessions, the program included dedicated discussions on European Union funding opportunities, supporting the translation of research results into clinical and industrial applications.

TThe final day of the workshop was devoted to strengthening bridges between end users, academia, clinical practice, and industry, as well as between natural and artificial intelligence. Several recent initiatives from the University of Maribor (Slovenia) were presented, including the Slovenian AI Factory and the HybridNeuro Hub—a Europe-wide community of researchers, innovators, industry leaders, and end users committed to advancing knowledge and innovation in the fields of the human motor system and human behaviour.
