Neuroadaptive Interaction Technologies for Safety-Critical Systems

Our Mission

HML develops adaptive human-technology systems for defense and security applications characterized by high cognitive and operational demands. The objective is to safeguard and enhance human performance under extreme physical and psychological stress.

At the intersection of neurotechnology, cognitive systems engineering, and human factors, we design sensor-based, data-driven, and model-informed solutions for the dynamic assessment and regulation of cognitive states.

Our systems combine scientific evidence with operational reliability – enabling effective human-system integration in time-critical and safety-critical environments.

About Us

What We Do

Scientific Innovation for Human-Machine Interaction in Mission-Critical Contexts
The Laboratory for Human-Machine Interaction (HML) is a dedicated research and development institution specializing in adaptive human-technology systems for high-stakes defense and security domains. We investigate, design, and evaluate interaction paradigms that account for the extreme cognitive, physiological, and operational demands experienced by human operators in combat scenarios and other safety-critical environments. Our approach integrates systems thinking with empirical precision to strengthen the resilience and effectiveness of human-machine teams.

Our Research Mission

Advancing Cognitive Readiness & Neuroadaptive Systems
At HML, we pursue the scientific goal of preserving and enhancing cognitive sovereignty in volatile and complex socio-technical systems. Our research is grounded in psychophysiology, neurotechnology, and cognitive ergonomics, and targets the development of adaptive interfaces, sensor-based assessment methods, and real-time analytics. These systems are designed to support human operators during phases of peak cognitive load, rapid decision-making, and mission-critical stress, ensuring operational integrity even under adverse conditions.

Application Domains

Defense, Crisis Response & Safety-Critical Operations
Our research and prototypes are developed for deployment in domains where human performance is mission-essential. Use cases include the cockpit of current and next-generation fighter aircraft, command-and-control environments, remote and autonomous vehicle operations (air, land, sea), and civil protection scenarios. Across all applications, our systems are tailored to environments characterized by time-critical decisions, high uncertainty, and strategic consequences.

Distinctive Scientific Positioning

Scientific Excellence with Operational Relevance
HML distinguishes itself through a rare synthesis of high-level scientific methodology and deep domain integration. Our work is grounded in peer-reviewed research, validated experimental protocols, and interdisciplinary expertise across neuroscience, systems engineering, and applied human factors. At the same time, our solutions are guided by the operational realities of our stakeholders - defense forces, public security institutions, and industry partners - where robustness, discretion, and ethical responsibility are paramount. We do not build for the laboratory alone - we build for the operational environment. Our research activities are scientifically accompanied by Prof. Dr. Jarek Krajewski, whose expertise in psychophysiology and human-machine interaction ensures a strong academic foundation.
