Who is Arnault?
Current Activities
I am the Chief Scientific Officer and Founding Scientist of 
Yneuro, where I lead the scientific R&D roadmap behind Neuro ID®, our patented neuro-biometric authentication technology.Learn more
I am also an Honorary Research Officer at 
Imperial College London, and maintain collaborations with 
Université de Nantes and 
UNSW Sydney, around large-scale open-source synergies, high-density EMG, motor control, and neuromusculoskeletal modelling.Learn more
My Philosophy
Whether public or proprietary, I care about rigorous science that can be validated, tested, and used. At Yneuro, this means working with a strong scientific team around Neuro ID®, where we turn neural decoding into an ambitious product, including demos that have been publicly tested by thousands and recognized with several awards.Learn more Where possible, I keep the rest of my research contributions open through datasets, code, infrastructure, and community challenges.

Let’s Collaborate!
I am always open to chat and happy to meet! For academic collaborations, industrial partnerships, media coverage, or simply a good scientific chat, reach me by email or on LinkedIn. For in-person chats, I am usually at Station F in Paris. In the coming months, I will be at VivaTech 2026 in Paris and EUSIPCO 2026 in Brussels.
Snapshot of my Journey
I have always wanted to do many things, and I’ve worked relentlessly to make them coexist. Too many passions to fit one single timeline! Today, I consider myself an entrepreneur, project manager, engineer & scientific researcher, mentor, and open-source advocate. I ground these in various experiences across France and the UK, and in many stretched hours stitching these threads together. Here is a snapshot of the journey so far, to be continued!
