Heads-up: The record­ings for the webi­nar on The State of Non­in­va­sive Neu­rotech­nol­o­gy, held on May 19th, are already avail­able on YouTube. Dr. Ricar­do Gil-da-Cos­ta (above) and Alvaro Fer­nan­dez (below) gave an excel­lent out­look on the brain tech indus­try, with a deep look into apps and wear­ables and the capa­bil­i­ties that human brain could achieve. We hope you enjoy the discussion.

For 19 years, Dr. Ricar­do Gil-da-Cos­ta’s pur­suit of how the mind and brain work led him to behav­ioral field stud­ies in Africa and Cen­tral Amer­i­ca and neu­ro­phys­i­ol­o­gy lab­o­ra­to­ry research from Har­vard Uni­ver­si­ty to the U.S. Nation­al Insti­tutes of Health and the Salk Insti­tute for Bio­log­i­cal Stud­ies. Most recent­ly, he co-found­ed and serves as C.E.O. of Neu­ro­verse, Inc., a neu­rotech­nol­o­gy com­pa­ny that has cre­at­ed a new class of mobile brain inter­faces for health and con­sumer elec­tron­ics applications.

Alvaro Fer­nan­dez runs Sharp­Brains, an inde­pen­dent mar­ket research firm track­ing applied neu­ro­science. He is the Edi­tor-in-Chief of sem­i­nal mar­ket reports on Per­va­sive Neu­rotech­nol­o­gy and Dig­i­tal Brain Health, and co-author of the book The Sharp­Brains Guide to Brain Fit­ness: How to Opti­mize Brain Health and Per­for­mance at Any Age. He enjoys serv­ing in the World Eco­nom­ic Forum’s Coun­cil on the Future of Neu­rotech­nol­o­gy, and in the Glob­al Teacher Prize Acad­e­my run by the Varkey Foundation.
