Brain Fitness at Neurotech Industry Conference

Zack Lynch from Neu­roIn­sights reminds us that the early­bird reg­is­tra­tion for the Neu­rotech Indus­try Invest­ing and Busi­ness con­fer­ence is about to expire. You can reg­is­ter by April 13th to save $300.

Con­fer­ence Details:

Date: May 17 — 18, 2007
Loca­tion: Westin San Fran­cisco, Mill­brae, CA

Highly rec­om­mended con­fer­ence for any­one work­ing on biotech, med­ical devices, diag­nos­tics and neu­rotech­nol­ogy in gen­eral, and with added value for any­one inter­ested in learn­ing more about science-based Brain Fit­ness thanks to what we hope will be a ground­break­ing panel:

Title: Brain Fit­ness Through Soft­ware and Neurofeedback

Thurs­day May 17th, 4.45–5.30pm

Descrip­tion: Spurred by the dis­cov­ery of neu­ro­plas­tic­ity, the aging baby boomer pop­u­la­tion and demand for safe treat­ments for child­hood ADHD, soft­ware com­pa­nies, large and small, are ven­tur­ing into the realm of ther­apy and cog­ni­tive fit­ness. Ven­ture investors are drawn by the poten­tial of the large mar­kets, lack of FDA involve­ment, and scal­a­bil­ity of the soft­ware model. What chal­lenges are com­pa­nies fac­ing? What effi­cacy para­me­ters are required for success?

Speak­ers:

- Jonas Jendi, CEO Cogmed

- John Hol­lis­ter, CEO EEG Spectrum

- Jeff Zim­man, CEO Posit Science

Mod­er­a­tor: (yours truly) Alvaro Fernandez

What was excit­ing in the panel was to hear how Cogmed is help­ing kids train work­ing mem­ory, Posit Sci­ence is help­ing (mostly) seniors train audi­tory pro­cess­ing, and there is a grow­ing field start­ing to pro­vide struc­tured brain exer­cise to peo­ple of all ages with dif­fer­ent pri­or­i­ties and needs.
