• A New Era of Experiential Medicine

  Audiences: technologists, engineers, medical professionals, pharma, investors, companies

  When it comes to enhancing our cognition we are tragically lacking. And we are paying a great price: Half a billion people around the world suffer debilitating effects of anxiety & depression; and attention & memory deficits. And the burden is rising; notably, dementia in our seniors; and attention and emotional control deficits in our youth.

  Dr. Adam Gazzaley presents a unique perspective on experience as medicine. Starting with framing in ancient experiential approaches like meditation, and then moving to the opportunities with modern technologies, like therapeutic video games, and powerful molecules that induce transformative experiences, like psychedelics.

  Key Takeaways:

  Dr. Gazzaley shares his views on the future of medicine for the mind; an approach based on experience-induced neuroplasticity, with broad implications across the fields of neurology, psychiatry and psychology.

• Technology Meets Neuroscience - A Vision of the Future of Brain Optimization

  Audiences: technologists, engineers, medical professionals, educators, pharma, investors, companies

  A fundamental challenge of modern society is the development of effective approaches to enhance brain function and cognition in both the healthy and impaired. For the healthy, this should be a core mission of our educational system and for the cognitively impaired this is should be a primary goal of our medical system. Unfortunately, neither of these systems have effectively met this challenge.

  Dr. Adam Gazzaley presents a novel approach he developed at UCSF Neuroscape that uses custom-designed video games to achieve meaningful and sustainable cognitive enhancement via personalized closed-loop systems.

  Key Takeaways:

  Dr. Gazzaley also shares the next stage of his research program, which integrates closed-loop video games with the latest technological innovations in software (e.g., brain computer interfaces, AI) and hardware (e.g., virtual reality, mobile EEG, motion capture, physiological recording devices, brain stimulation) to enhance our brain’s information processing systems with the ultimate aim of improving our brain function.

• The Distracted Mind: Ancient Brains in a High-Tech World

  Audiences: technologists, teachers, educators, companies

  Our increasingly information-saturated world, coupled with growing expectations of constant availability and immediate responsiveness, place excessive demands on our brains. The consequences are detrimental effects on our safety, health, education, workplace, and relationships with family and friends.

  Dr. Adam Gazzaley takes us on a journey into how and why we struggle with interruptions and distractions that emerge from both our inner and outer worlds. He will present a unique evolutionary perspective that the very essence of what has evolved in our brains to make us most human collides headfirst with our brain’s limitations in cognitive control.

  Key Takeaways:

  Dr. Gazzaley concludes by offering practical strategies for modifying our behavior, as well as the latest innovations from his research in enhancing our brain's function, so that we can better survive and thrive in the information age.

• Raging Against Aging: The Future of Brain Optimization and Longevity

  Audiences: technologists, investors, lawyers, judges, companies

  One of the greatest achievements of modern times has been to dramatically increase the longevity of our species. While this is a cause for celebration, it should be recognized that it has resulted in numerous challenges to maintain quality of life due to a near ubiquitous decline in cognitive function with aging.

  Dr. Adam Gazzaley describes the latest research on the aging brain and the challenges faced by an increasingly older population on a global level.

  Key Takeaways:

  Dr. Gazzaley shares practical advice on how to retain our cognition as we age, as well as a novel approach that he has been developing to use cutting-edge technology (custom-designed video games, artificial intelligence, brain stimulation, and virtual reality) to achieve meaningful and sustainable cognitive enhancement throughout our lives.
