DIY NEUROTECHNOLOGY
BY FIRAS SAFIEDDINE
You can control Google’s Dino game by blinking, making music with your muscles, and creating visuals with your brainwaves. Actually, you can do much more! But during this workshop, we will focus on that, it's the place to get hands-on with do-it-yourself neurotechnology hardware. Neurotechnology is an emerging field that came across as fields like neuroscience, computation, and electronics converged. Today's industry and research landscape within neurotechnology is expanding rapidly, from recreational tools, to very advanced medical equipment. Neurotechnology has reserved a seat in our very near future, entering the domains of leisure, gaming, health and therapeutics, and much more. During the workshop, we will walk through the basics, what is neurotechnology, and how it has been democratized. After that, we will get to see some examples of how it's been used, to make art, and cure patients, and finally, get hands-on, and play around with the hardware. No prior knowledge is expected, this workshop is free and open to the public. No age restrictions.
