Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs) are emerging technologies that use a person's brain activity to control external technologies like computers, robotic prostheses and smart home technology. While these technologies were once purely the domain of science fiction, in recent years a number of companies have made impressive progress in bringing BCI technology into the consumer space. In this talk, Dr. David Putrino will share his experiences running the first-in-human clinical trials for novel BCI technology, discuss the current and future applications of this technology and share an inside look at the long-term strategies behind bringing these technologies to market for the everyday consumer. From restoring independence to telepathy, nothing is outside the realm of possibility with these exciting new technologies.
A survivor of brain injury as a young child, David Putrino knows firsthand the importance of never giving up. Now that he works in a hospital, his daily inspiration comes from his patients who are often fighting to recover what was lost after a sudden life challenge.
In this talk, Dr Putrino will share some of the stories that embody the strength of the human spirit: some of his most memorable patients and friends fighting back against all odds. He will discuss the importance of communication and correct messaging in healthcare, how doctors often get it wrong, and how to strongly and effectively advocate for yourself and your family in a tough situation. Most of all, he will detail how maintaining a positive mindset, through all the hurdles that might possibly pop up, can make all the difference in recovery and in life—helping you to achieve the impossible.
