Tuesday in Washington, DC: The Neurotechnology Revolution

The Neu­rotech­nol­o­gy Revolution

Tues­day, Sep­tem­ber 29, 2015   12–1.30pm

A col­lab­o­ra­tion between

Potomac Insti­tute for Pol­i­cy Stud­ies and SharpBrains

 

Descrip­tion: Rev­o­lu­tions in neu­rotech­nol­ogy will soon influ­ence every aspect of human life. Neu­rotech­nol­ogy can be used to fur­ther under­stand the nat­ural process­es of the brain, study and treat neu­ro­log­i­cal dis­or­ders and injuries, and enhance neur­al capa­bil­i­ties, result­ing in increased human intel­li­gence and effi­ciency. Out­side of the realm of health, it can be used in social con­texts to improve over­all qual­ity of life. Brain Com­put­er Inter­faces (BCIs), imag­ing capa­bil­i­ties, cog­ni­tive load and wear­able tech­nolo­gies have all improved rapid­ly and are being applied in mul­ti­ple fields; thou­sands of relat­ed patents have been filed.

This sem­i­nar will zoom in the main oppor­tu­ni­ties and chal­lenges pre­sent­ed by this rapid trans­for­ma­tion, based on The Potomac Institute’s recent pub­li­ca­tion, Trends in Neu­rotech­nol­o­gy, a com­pi­la­tion of infor­ma­tion from lit­er­a­ture review, sem­i­nars, and dis­cus­sions with experts, and Sharp­Brains’ lat­est mar­ket report, Per­va­sive Neu­rotech­nol­o­gy: A Ground­break­ing Analy­sis of 10,000+ Patent Fil­ings Trans­form­ing Med­i­cine, Health, Enter­tain­ment, and Busi­ness, which pro­vides exten­sive quan­ti­ta­tive evi­dence for the rise in non-inva­sive neu­rotech­nolo­gies both with­in and out­side the realm of medicine.

The sem­i­nar will host dis­tin­guished speak­ers and par­tic­i­pants from the neu­rotech­nol­o­gy indus­try, pol­i­cy mak­ers, researchers and users of neu­rotech­nol­o­gy and neu­ro­science-based inno­va­tion. By bring­ing togeth­er researchers, inno­va­tors and users involved in neu­rotech­nol­o­gy along­side pol­i­cy­mak­ers and leg­is­la­tors, we hope to pro­voke a live­ly dis­cus­sion from which nov­el pol­i­cy ideas for the suc­cess­ful devel­op­ment and imple­men­ta­tion of neu­rotech­nol­o­gy will emerge, help­ing har­ness the tremen­dous poten­tial in ways that active­ly ben­e­fit society.

To RSVP: Cam­eras and media must be reg­is­tered. For reg­is­tra­tion and gen­er­al RSVPs, please send name, title and affil­i­a­tion to Bri­an Bar­nett at bbar­nett at potomacin­sti­tute dot org.
