About
Romy Lorenz is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience and artificial intelligence, best known for her work in passive brain–computer interfacing and real-time neuroimaging. Her major contributions include developing automated methods to detect cognitive task load using electroencephalography (EEG), with direct applications in high-stakes environments like robotic surgery. Her most-cited paper, "Automated Task Load Detection with Electroencephalography: Towards Passive Brain–Computer Interfacing in Robotic Surgery" (2016, 42 citations), demonstrates how real-time neural monitoring can support surgeons by identifying critical or stressful periods, enabling adaptive system responses. Lorenz’s research has been instrumental in advancing closed-loop neuroadaptive technologies, where brain signals dynamically guide human-machine interactions. She is also recognized for her work on functional MRI-based brain-computer interfaces and her contributions to understanding the neural basis of cognitive flexibility. With a growing citation impact and a focus on translating neuroscience into practical tools, Lorenz’s work continues to shape the future of neuroergonomics and assistive technology, making her a leading voice in the field.
