Vision - to accelerate cognitive growth for decision-making, originality, and strategic collaboration, while optimizing ethical Human-AI (H-AI) interaction and Explainable AI (XAI) reliability and robustness validation.

​

Mission - together with a multidisciplinary team, Alfes aims at contributing to the advance of Cognitive Architecture through ViSP-Lab — an interdisciplinary R&D hub for Metacognitive Engineering.

​

This architecture’s goal is to operate at the forefront of Cognitive Biotechnology by architecting the integration between neurocyberpsychology and the principles that NATO and MIT define as the next cutting edge, focusing on human outperformance.

​

The ViSP-Lab concept originated in her post-graduate program at Harvard University

and received faculty endorsement. Its core theoretical framework—integrating ethical H-AI trust

and Cognitive Bio-Design —was crystallized in her 2024 academic paper at MIT CSAIL.

​

                          Envisioned as a European applied facility - ViSP-Lab  “Die Brücke” (The Bridge)

 

 ViSP-Lab proposes to act as a initial R&D hub between central organizations. It leverages collaboration

with Brazil's tier research centers for ethical pilot programs, replicable and scalable in the EU under GDPR standards.
