The Cork Room is a place where technology, art and neuroscience come together to find new ways of supporting human health and engagement with the world.

Here, researchers develop AI-powered tools to explore how innovation can contribute to learning, skill development, rehabilitation and adaptation to new conditions, ultimately enhancing human wellbeing.

Through AI-generated artworks that respond to movement and presence, visitors become active participants in the creative process. As gestures, motion and behaviour evolve, so do the artworks themselves, creating dynamic and immersive experiences.

Designed as a space for discovery and technological development, the Cork Room brings together artistic expression and scientific research to inform one another, opening new possibilities for behaviour change,  therapeutic interventions and human-centred innovation.
