BCIs, Neuro Modulation and NeuroEthics with Harrison Canning

Harrison Canning is a student at the Rochester Institute of Technology in the School of Individualized Studies, Founder of The BCI Guys & Neurotechnology Exploration Team. He makes videos on his Youtube channel The BCI Guys and has designed his own degree centered around brain-computer interface technology (BA in Neurotechnology). The BCI Guys is a media company dedicated to removing the barrier to entry and increasing interest in the field of neurotechnology. It produces engaging, sensational, digestible, and informative content via YouTube, podcasts, and blog posts. Its aim is to lead the conversation around neurotechnology through a science-based approach and conveying what is possible, while also conveying the tremendous potential of brain-computer interface and neuromodulation technologies. 00:00 Intro 01:34 Assault, Concussion and Neurotech 06:01 Coping with Memory Loss, Mathematical Ability & Courage  12:50  Moral Support, SuperMoms & Hope 08:15  Bodysuits, Neuro diseases, Robotics & Boston Dynamics 10:48  Pros and Cons of invasive vs non-invasive Solutions, 1000 Brains Theory, Signal Amplification Issues 13:40  Lucid Dreams, Brain Wave Differences in Human Subjects, RIT Neurotech Research Lab 28:16 Accuracy for Apple Watches & Wearables and Size to Measurement Precision Ration   30:39  SpO2 Levels, Sleep and Stress levels, False Positives 33:32  Delta Waves, Meditation and Focus Research 37:30  Post-trauma Brain Rewiring, Man with Half a Brain, Machine Learning & Intent Prediction through Connectomes  43:10  NeoCortex in Humans vs Other Animal Species, Cons of Late Maturation of Cortex, Human Behavioral Biology 47:00 NeuroPharmacology vs NeuroModulation, Addiction & Jordan Peterson 50:00 Deep Brain Stimulation, Jaak Panksepp, Clinical trials on 2000 People, Controllable Neuro Modulation to Alleviate Pain 53:30  Number of Electrodes, Depression & Anxiety, Neuropathic Pain  56:10 Seizure Detection through AI, Brain Wave Patterns for Seizures, Chip Implants for Preventing them 58:30  Inspiring Mentor & Role Model  01:02:40 Neuroscience Starter Kit, Cost of  Hypondyne Z vs OpenBCI , $499 EEG Cap 01:06:04 Neurotech Education Around the World.
