Last summer in London, participants gathered for an immersive week at the forefront of human interfacing and augmentation. Hosted at Imperial College London's modern White City campus, HybridNeuro's five-day summer school brought together leading researchers, emerging innovators, and industry professionals to explore how human capabilities could be enhanced, restored, and extended through neurotechnology.

Attendees gained insights through expert-led lectures that covered core topics, including:

• the neuroscience of neural decoding,
• translational augmentation,
• neural signals for interfacing, and
• wearable neurotechnology.

The programme featured contributions from distinguished experts, including:

• Dario Farina (Imperial College London)
• Aleš Holobar (University of Maribor)
• Juan Gallego (Imperial College London)
• Etienne Burdet (Imperial College London)
• Ildar Farkhatdinov (Kings College London)
• Arita Kundu (Imperial College London)
• Jamie Ibáñez (Universidad de Zaragoza)
• Juan Alvaro Gallego (Imperial College London)
• Hayriye Cagnan (Imperial College London)
• Carsten Mehring (University of Freiburg)
• IIdar Farkhatdinov (Kings College London)

The programme combined foundational lectures to build core understanding with specialised talks covering cutting-edge research:

• Young researchers offered fresh perspectives and bold new ideas in the field of neural interfaces and neuroscience.
• Interactive poster sessions provided opportunities for participants to showcase their own work, receive feedback, and network with world-leading experts.
• Practical hands-on sessions included live demonstrations of brain-machine interfaces and wearable supernumerary robotic devices.
• An industry-facing day allowed researchers and companies to explore how academic innovation could translate into real-world impact, building bridges between labs and industry.

HybridNeuro's summer school offered a unique opportunity to engage with the latest developments in human interfacing and augmentation, and to connect with a vibrant research community.
