Neurotech and WBE Next Steps and Building Blocks

Duration: 49min 36sec Type: Presentation (lecture) Playlist: 24 of 37 in Protocol Labs

Description

Mark Melnykowycz, a developer of brain-computer interfaces, presents his approach to creating basic brain emulation systems using wearable EEG sensors, large language models, and continuous brain activity data collection. It demonstrates practical applications — from personalized music recommendations based on cognitive load to focus and stress monitoring, as well as the creation of personal AI agents that understand the user through the integration of neurodata with the context of everyday activities. The speaker emphasizes that technologies for basic brain emulation are already available today and calls for the development of open, decentralized solutions where users retain control over their neurodata and digital emulation.
