Rocky Mountain Brain Hack 2018

Rocky Mountain BrainHack Summary

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

- Presentations on neuroscience, machine learning applied to neuroscience, and the new generation of brain-computer interface (BCI) technologies.

- Hands-on time with the new generation of BCI 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.

• Successful testing of an initial proof-of-concept of using device output from 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!

• Next Steps:
• • Transition to OpenBCI Platform (open source, community benefits)
• • Ongoing Market Assessment
• • Survey use cases with OpenBCI, Emotiv, other platforms
• • Follow up with Tobii Dynavox, other potential AT device partners.
• • Reach out to RESNA, therapist community.
