The 2025 PNPL Competition, presented at NeurIPS 2025, invited AI researchers and students to take part in the challenge of non-invasively decoding language from the brain, built around the original LibriBrain dataset. The societal impact of functioning brain-computer interface systems will be substantial — first for people with speech-related disabilities, and eventually as a new paradigm for interaction with computers.

We believe that the way forward for advancing this impactful technology is through standardisation and easy accessibility for the broader research community. Our goal is to spark an “ImageNet moment” for BCI, lowering the barrier of entry for researchers to contribute to this exciting new field.
