Join us in Croatia for the 12th International BCI Meeting, the premier global gathering dedicated to brain–computer interface research and innovation. This landmark event will bring together scientists, engineers, clinicians, users, and industry leaders spanning all areas of BCI research, development, and clinical application.

From cutting-edge basic science to real-world clinical translation, the 2027 BCI Meeting will showcase the latest advances shaping the future of the field.

Set in an immersive, retreat-style environment, the meeting fosters meaningful networking, in-depth discussion, and strong cross-sector collaboration. It is especially committed to supporting the education, mentorship, and active participation of students and early-career researchers.

This is more than a conference—it is an opportunity to help shape the direction of BCI research and translation worldwide.
