Miriam Reiner studies neuroscience applied to advanced human-centered technology (VR/AR). She has published over 150 research articles, two books, been a keynote speaker at numerous academic and industry conferences, and filed numerous patents. She has been a part-time visiting professor every year at Stanford, as well as at Nanyang Technological University, UNC, University-College London and many others. Miriam works with leading international companies in the field of human-machine interfaces and participates as an expert on key EU committees on future innovative technologies. She founded and directed the VR/AR and Neurocognition Laboratory at Technion, mainly thanks to EU grants, and has trained some 40 PhD and MSc students. His work lies at the interface between neuroscience and model-based machine learning, and aims to develop new technologies for human enhancement. Key results include VR/AR methods to accelerate memory consolidation, improve spatial intelligence, speed up problem solving, and error potential-based brain-computer interfaces to restructure neural patterns for faster rehabilitation. Her current focus is on extracting neural biomarkers from eye dynamics in VR/AR for improved synergy between eyes and brain machine (VR/AR).

Some of her patents have been commercialized and, in 2017, she co-founded a company, BrainVu, based on her research. BrainVu was acquired by Mantis Vision in the third quarter of 2018, and it and its team acted as a stand-alone group until autumn 2020. In 2021, she founded NeuCogs, which focuses on human-machine cooperation and the integration of human brain responses with AI, to generate a type of hybrid intelligence that could be applied to improve collaboration between humans and machines.
