Dr Garth Webb & The Bionic Lens

Founder of Ocumetics Technology Corporation, Dr. Garth Webb has an inherent background in the science of sight. With over 40 years of optometry experience, Dr. Webb shifted his attention to product development and soon after became the sole innovator of the Bionic Lens. Coining the term “Human Visual Experience”, he has completely changed the way people once viewed virtual reality through integration of basic science with physiological options and digital communications.

Kernel & Bryan Johnson

We’re a team of scientists and engineers on a mission to dramatically increase our quality of life and create a thriving humanity. We believe that starts with a renewed focus on human intelligence (HI). Machines of all kinds can help us along the way, but our vision is one in which we humans maintain and expand our authorial power. The advanced intelligence of tomorrow is a collaboration between the natural and the artificial. United, unheard of possibilities abound.

We’re building off two decades of breakthrough research, working closely with private partners and scientists to get usable solutions in the hands of people everywhere. We’re starting with potential applications for patients with cognitive disorders.

Ted Berger, USC biomedical engineer

Theodore Berger, a biomedical engineer at the University of Southern California has created an implant device that would go behind your ear. Once in place, your ability to remember and access every moment in your life is suddenly engaged.The implantable device, called Black Mirror, seems to mimic the function of the hippocampus by electrically stimulating the brain in a similar pattern that forms memories.The Black Mirror device works based on a theory about how the hippocampus transforms short-term memories into long-term memories:

Emotive

Our devices have been developed for research and development applications. We have maintained an uncompromising approach to the design and development of our mobile EEG systems and we believe that spatial resolution; detecting activity across the main cortices of the brain is crucial to obtaining high-quality data. The wealth of data we have accumulated and analyzed and our detection algorithms, we believe, are second to none.

IEEE

IEEE is the world’s largest technical professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity.  IEEE's core purpose is to foster technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity. IEEE will be essential to the global technical community and to technical professionals everywhere, and be universally recognized for the contributions of technology and of technical professionals in improving global conditions.

Neuralink

Neuralink is developing ultra high bandwidth brain-machine interfaces to connect humans and computers.

We are looking for exceptional engineers and scientists. No neuroscience experience is required: talent and drive matter far more. We expect most of our team to come from other areas and industries.

We are primarily looking for evidence of exceptional ability and a track record of building things that work.
