SE1: Neurotechnologies for Mass Populations

Overview:

Over the past several decades, neuroscience has provided thousands of demonstrations that specific brain signal recordings can provide meaningful information about a person’s brain or mind.  However, to date, with very few exceptions, this research has not resulted in solutions that can improve brain- or mind-related function of large numbers of people.  After an initial and highly successful workshop in Shanghai in September 2022, we are now proposing a Satellite Event that is dedicated specifically to the question of how to bring neuroscientific achievements to mass populations.  In this series, world-reknown speakers from academia and industry discuss: 1) neurotechnologies and their historical context; 2) opportunities of neurotechnologies for mass populations; 3) scientific, technical, financial, and regulatory challenges; and 4) the design, implementation, and optimization of neurotechnologies that can successfully address the needs of mass populations.  We expect that this event will contribute to the definition of the current state and future of an important new class of technologies that will have a major impact on people’s lives in the 21^st century.
