Our vision is to transform human-computer interaction (HCI) and cognitive AI by driving a "moonshot" initiative: to create a world where technology effortlessly and intuitively adapts to and learns from us and the world around us.
This paradigm shift, where technology understands humans and not the other way around, will change the way we communicate with technology and open up new, unimaginable possibilities.
We have a portfolio of patents related to our technical solutions. Our most important patented invention is SAMANAI®, a data processing method that can read and interpret continuous brain activity, classify it, provide it to a machine learning system and learn by adapting the system's capabilities to the context.
By combining human and artificial intelligence, SAMANAI® creates an interface that can be used in a variety of fields that want to build improved AI products or solutions.
Real-time Insights of mental states
Mental state monitoring enables real-time assessment and tracking of a person's cognitive functions and mental states, providing valuable insights into mental performance and overall brain activity..
Better user engagement and efficiency
Based on real-time cognitive data, we personalize interaction with computers and improve user experience and productivity, while maintaining human control and avoiding technological dependencies.
Faster and more effective AI learning
We use ongoing human feedback to accelerate and improve the AI's learning process. This helps the AI to better deal with ambiguous or complex scenarios with human-like intuition, leading to more accurate, reliable and human-compatible results.
With vast research experience and a team of scientists and developers, we support innovations for the future by designing and implementing effective, efficient and scalable solutions.
Our advanced SAMANAI® platform is a powerful solution that provides deeper insights into a series of different human cognitive states and enables the development of cognitive AI systems. By continuously monitoring mental states in real time, SAMANAI® enables highly personalized and adaptive interactions that improve the user experience. The platform integrates multi-dimensional mental state detection, a context awareness toolbox, an HC and an AI learning modules.
It enables precise understanding of user states and adapts computers and AI-systems to better align with human needs.
SAMANAI® is the driving force behind our business moonshot, allowing us to develop breakthrough solutions and AI systems that are aligned with human values and cognition and learn from human expertise and corrections.
We are developing a wearable, unobtrusive and high-quality EEG suite which will be designed to accurately monitor brain activity and provide real-time data for neuroadaptive applications, while ensuring privacy through local data processing.
The development of new EEG sensors, a miniaturized amplifier and system-on-a-chip enables precise analysis of mental states in different environments and safely supports the development of innovative, adaptive technologies.
We support customers in leveraging our platform to create innovative HCI and cognitive AI solutions for their business needs. Our teams in Berlin, Munich, Cottbus, and Delft focus on helping organizations integrate our platform with their systems and optimize their use to achieve groundbreaking results.
We have a team of outstanding technology and science experts, including renowned researchers, AI developers, data scientists and cognitive psychologists, who are passionate about advancing technology through strong scientific principles.
Led by Prof. Dr. Thorsten O. Zander and Dr. Laurens R. Krol, our team members are carrying out fundamental academic research that demonstrates essential concepts to ensure that every aspect of our technology is based on proven scientific principles and promotes innovation and reliability.
Brain data acquisition

Monitoring
We monitor the brain
Mental states
we understand the mental states
Advanced EEG sensors for easy data acquisition. We provide state-of-the-art unobtrusive sensors for continuous real world data acquisition. Layers of algorithms ensure maximum focus on the brain’s own neural activity, and smart filtering enables out of lab usage. .
Mental state detection
02
Translating brain data into mental states. Our proprietary, pre-trained classifiers interpret EEG data and translate it into various relevant mental states. These decoded mental states provide real-time insights into a person's cognitive and affective state of mind, such as workload, stress, surprise, error, or intent.
Implicit intelligent adaptation
03
Real-time human-computer interaction. We are developing a platform to interpret mental processes in natural, real-world contexts. By modeling the joint patterns of human and mental state activity, our platform learns to seamlessly adapt technology to their user's cognitive and affective states..
AI learning
04
AI that learns with every interaction. Our future platform incorporates the collected states and user interactions into our AI framework. This continuous learning process, which incorporates human cognitive feedback and insights from the brain-computer interface, allows our AI to improve over time.We believe that by integrating human values, logic and skills into AI systems, we can create human-compatible AI systems that are not only more accurate and reliable, but also capable of handling complex scenarios with human-like intuition.
We are aware that ethical considerations go hand in hand with every technological leap. That is why we are committed to progress that is guided by a strong ethical compass. Our ethical boundaries are part of our company’s DNA, and we consider privacy and security rights to be paramount. Given the sensitive nature of data collected through brain-computer interfaces, we at Zander Labs have a responsibility to treat these privacy concerns with the utmost importance and care. We follow strict ethical protocols in line with EU data protection regulations and consult with a panel of experts to ensure that our technology is not only ground-breaking, but also trustworthy, secure and beneficial to society.
