# Research & Strategic Collaborators

To ensure our emotional AI system is grounded in **scientific validity**, **cultural nuance**, and **user safety**, Lucidai is in collaboration with the following research institutions and innovation labs:

**1. AetherMind Institute (UK)**

A private neuro-AI research facility focused on dream pattern modeling and subconscious data analysis. Lucidai collaborates with AetherMind to continuously refine its dream-symbol ontology.

**2. EmotionGraph Labs (Germany)**

A Berlin-based lab specializing in affective signal processing and cross-cultural sentiment recognition. Assists Lucidai in optimizing its emotion-to-token alignment engine.

**3. Soma Intelligence Research Group (Netherlands)**

A cognitive neuroscience think tank exploring how somatic responses (body-emotion feedback) relate to dream data. Lucidai works with them to identify user emotion drift over time.

**4. Centre for Symbolic AI and Ethics (UK)**

An academic consortium based in Manchester, researching ethical implications of symbolic AI and digital self-reflection. Partners with Lucidai on transparent interpretability standards.

**5. NeurOracle Collective (Canada)**

A cross-border research network focused on large language model safety, with a sub-division studying spiritual and dream-based prompting. Advises Lucidai on LLM safety in dream interpretation.

Through these partnerships, Lucidai ensures that every dream decoded and every token recommended is backed by a framework that’s both **emotionally intelligent** and **ethically aware**.
