Vision 73: Decoding the Brain with Niall Holmes and Dimitrios Adamos
Join us for vision 73’s fourth event on September 30th in Central London. While full details will be announced soon, you can register here.
At our previous events vision 73 was honoured to host Jacob T. Robinson, Jamie Brannigan, Nir Grossman, Tamara Gerbert, and other distinguished experts speaking about implantable and non-implantable brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). The events were attended by researchers from leading institutions including King’s College London, Imperial College London, The Francis Crick Institute, University College London, University of Surrey, and others.
The event on September 30th will explore the frontiers of non-implantable brain decoding using OPM MEG and EEG modalities.
Priority registration for this event will be given to researchers in physics, neuroscience, materials science, computer science, and engineering if space becomes limited. However, we encourage everyone passionate about the future of BCIs to register, as we’re expanding capacity and customising the content for future events. Don’t miss your chance to be part of this transformative journey!

Details
Niall Holmes
Niall holds a Sir Peter Mansfield Research Fellowship in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Nottingham. His works pioneered the development of magnetoencephalography (MEG) using optically pumped magnetometers (OPMs) His works span array design to system magnetic shielding and data de-noising software, and among other things enabled the first demonstrations of ambulatory movement in MEG and the simultaneous scanning of two people directly interacting. Niall is a co-founder and Chief Scientist at Cerca Magnetics Limited and a co-founder of Contour Advanced Magnetic Design,

Dimitrios Adamos
Dimitrios is an Honorary Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Computing at Imperial College London. With a PhD in Neuroinformatics, his work focuses on generalised models for EEG decoding, enabling brain-computer interfaces that work across users and devices without further training or calibration. Dimitrios led his team to win first place in the NeurIPS EEG Transfer Learning Competition. He is co-founder and the CTO of Cogitat, an Imperial College spinout that partners with leading robotics companies and rehabilitation clinics to enable stroke survivors to actively control their therapy using wearable BCI technology. Cogitat is also a NATO DIANA company, with its attention-decoding technology validated with real pilots for ensuring focus during critical operations.

vision 73
vision 73 is a non-profit initiative, launched by Peter Zhegin and Vasyl Mykytiuk. During the day, Vasyl is a postdoctoral researcher at the Francis Crick Institute and Peter is Director of the Neurotech Program at e184, an advanced research funding organisation.
By leveraging events, coordination, and analytics, vision 73 aims to support transition of brain-computer interfaces from niche medical and research tools to groundbreaking general-purpose technologies.
vision 73’s events are co-organised by e184.
