He is jointly affiliated with the Dream Engineering Lab at Université de Montréal’s Department of Psychiatry and Harvard Medical School’s Center for Sleep and Cognition. His work bridges neuroscience, mental health, and culture, appearing in Nature, Science, The New York Times, BBC, NPR, Stanford HAI, and global art institutions such as the MIT Museum, LUMA, Tribeca, and CPH:DOX. Through DUST, Adam leads a multidisciplinary team building tools that help people explore, understand, and shape their inner landscape through the science of dreams.

Nicole L’Huillier (b. 1985) is a transdisciplinary artist and researcher from Santiago, Chile. Her practice centers on exploring sounds and vibrations as construction materials to delve into questions of agency, identity, collectivity, and the activation of a vibrational imagination. Her work materializes through installations, sonic/vibrational sculptures, custom-made (listening and/or sounding) apparatuses, performances, experimental compositions, membranal poems, and writing. She holds a Ph.D. in Media Arts & Sciences from MIT (2022).
