Building a Neurosphere


Personal Infrastructure

The Neurosphere Institute is now exploring some concrete steps to build out the personal infrastructure – jacking in if you will.  Here’s a summary from the first baby step, which established an ongoing project and team.  Join us or learn more by sending a message.

Thirty people gathered for the first Rocky Mountain BrainHack on Saturday, November 10.  The event was marked by:

  • Educational presentations on neuroscience, machine learning applied to neuroscience, and the new generation of brain-computer interface technologies.
  • Hands-on time with the new generation of brain-computer interface devices.
  • Extensive roundtable discussion of mental flow-states, including how to define them and identify associated brainwave patterns.
  • Data gathering to fuel further research on the flow-state project
  • Business and product roundtable focused on the assistive technology landscape.
  • Successful testing of an initial proof-of-concept of using device output for mental commands to move a third-party device. This path has great potential to provide assistive technology solutions to the disabled community. See the video here!

Emotion Regulation and Complex Brain Networks


Uncategorized

Emotion regulation (ER) refers to the “implementation of a conscious or non-conscious goal to start, stop or otherwise modulate the trajectory of an emotion” (Etkin et al., 2015). Whereas multiple brain areas have been found to be involved in ER, relatively little is known about whether and how ER is associated with the global functioning of brain networks.
