Research
Traditional methods for learning about or optimizing our brain health are often not very accurate, have side effects, or require time-consuming evaluation by experts in a clinical setting with expensive and specialized equipment. Recent advances in AI algorithms, sensor miniaturization and reduced costs present an opportunity to create a new generation of neurotechnologies that can collect more accurate data about a person’s brain and provide resulting recommendations to the person or his/her clinician.
The Frontier Lab for Applied Neurotechnology is creating a medical grade, easy-to-use EEG device which will be the foundation of the closed-loop system described above that will record and analyze brain signals, voice, heart rate, Sp02 and movements.
The Lab first intends to address issues with sleep and in the future, it will also touch on dreams, mental disorders, learning and memory, and happiness and welfare.
It will address these issues using a variety of neuromodulated outputs – music for example, will be one of the first modalities. Others will eventually include images or video, games, virtual reality and the metaverse.
We expect to identify or develop other non-invasive neurotechnologies that will help to expand and refine this system.
