Miriam REINER

Prof. Miriam Reiner has been studying applied neuroscience for advanced human centric technology VR/AR. She published above 150 research papers, two books, keynote speaker at multiple academic and industry conferences, and inventor of numerous patents. She has been a visiting professor for part time each year at Stanford, and at Nanyang Technological University, UNC, University-College London, and more. Miriam has been collaborating with leading international corporations on human computer interfaces, and serves as an expert on major EU committees on future innovative technologies. She founded and lead the VR/AR and neurocognition lab at the Technion, mainly with awards from the EU, and trained about 40 PhD’s and Master of Science graduate students. Her work is in the interface of neuroscience and model-based machine learning aiming to develop novel technologies for human enhancement. Some of her key results include methods of VR/AR for expedited memory consolidation, enhanced spatial intelligence, expedited problem solving, and error-potential-based brain-computer-interfaces, for restructuring neural patterns to accelerate rehabilitation. Her current focus is on extraction of neural biomarkers from eye dynamics in VR/AR for an eye-based brain machine (VR/AR) enhanced synergy Some of her patents were commercialized, and in 2017 she cofounded a company, BrainVu, based on her research. BrainVu was acquired by Mantis Vision in Q3 2018, and she and her team acted as a stand-alone group until fall 2020. In 2021 she founded NeuCogs, focusing on human-machine cooperation, and integrating human brain responses with AI, to generate hybrid type of intelligence, that might be applied for enhanced collaboration between humans and machines.
