Dear Colleagues,<br>
<br>
We hope this information finds you well and aligns with your interests.<br>
<br>
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?<br>
<br>
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!<br>

<br>
The NeuroDesign in HRI Student EXPO & Competition has been scheduled again as a Hybrid event (online + onsite), co-located with Neuroscience 2025 (<span style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);"><a style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); text-align: left;" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.sfn.org/meetings/neuroscience-2025&source=gmail&ust=1762184066659000&usg=AOvVaw3ud-ScOqMFuYqFkgQ5gbuK" class="OWAAutoLink elementToProof" id="OWA2002557e-420d-ff49-1956-4719d7fa4191" target="_blank" href="https://www.sfn.org/meetings/neuroscience-2025">https://www.sfn.org/meetings/<wbr style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204);">neuroscience-2025</a></span>)
in San Diego on November 19, 2025.<br>
<br>
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<br>
<br>
* Human-Robot Interaction<br>
* Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI)<br>
* Cognitive Neuroscience & Psychology<br>
* Wearable and Soft Robotics<br>
* Design, Arts & Human-Centered Engineering<br>
* AI, Innovation, and Startups<br>
<br>
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.<br>
