Join us for a special episode on the innovative efforts to help those living with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Israeli neurotech scientists and educators have organized a national program using brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) to improve the lives of those with ALS. In this educational program, students learn about BCIs and use their knowledge to create personalized devices for patients to address their individual needs. Tune in to learn more about this unique program from its leader Asaf Harel and appreciate the hope it brings to those living with ALS!
About the podcast guest:
Asaf Harel focuses on designing and developing brain-computer
interfaces for human sensory and motor systems, data analysis,
signal processing, machine learning, and multi-site experimental
coordination. Asaf believes that "in the near future, our
interactions with the digital world will be mediated by our
attention and intention, augmenting current touch, gesture, and
speech inputs."
Asaf is the co-founder and leader of BrainstormIL, an organization
dedicated to establishing Israel as a neurotech leader. With a
community of over 3000 members across eight chapters at top
academic institutions in Israel, BrainstormIL hosts national
events, competitions, courses, conferences, and connections to
stakeholders in the Israeli neurotech ecosystem.
