MOSAIC Shaping Workshop
MOSAIC (Multimodal Open-Science AI-Powered Integrative Computation) is an initiative to build the missing infrastructure layer for next-generation research on humans: a platform for synchronized multimodal physiology + behavior + subjective reports enabling scalable and reproducible neurophenomenological and clinical research.
Today, sophisticated multimodal studies (EEG, audio/video, speech, physiology, psychometrics, experience sampling) remain difficult to conduct due to fragmented tool ecosystems, high expertise requirements, and critical bottlenecks in signal synchronization and integrated processing.
The MOSAIC Shaping Workshop «From fragmented multimodal studies to scalable multimodal science infrastructure» brings together leading experts from neuroscience, multimodal AI, research infrastructure, clinical research, and innovation to:
- evaluate feasibility and innovation gaps
- define a tractable MVP and implementation pathway
- shape the roadmap toward follow-up funding and prototyping
