lol I already know you're talking about that 8soulsdeep dork

Any advice on how to search against this index? I can't seem to figure out the right search queries, everything I try gives no results.

For example, I'm trying to find articles with "neuroscience" or "brain-computer interface" among the keywords.

"Probably 30% of the rounds I’ve raised have been “hot” - and very fast. 70% have been hard work, slow and stressful."

My favorite part. The ideal scenario is running a tight, targeted and short process for a hot deal...but don't be surprised if that doesn't happen.

What tool did you switch over to?

Graham Duncan seems like he's had some real illuminating acid trips in his life. Good for him

Could you explain more about what is consumer hostile about Google's re-captcha?

Any recommended alternatives would be appreciated as well.

Love it. Wish I could "walk" through the rooms with arrows, or some other way than constantly clicking back to the map

I referenced this in my other reply, but this is one of the ones that blew my mind:

Right now, OpenBCI makes products that only handle the "read" side of the equation.

As far as "writing" back into the brain, the coolest thing I've seen was the "BrainNet" project from University of Washington which used transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)

The science and tech is advancing very fast, but I think it's not accurate enough to be in everyday use yet as a controller for devices. 90% accuracy sounds great in a paper, but imagine if your mouse clicks or keystrokes didn't register 1 out of 10 times.

What feels way more likely is that we'll see biometric data being collected by more consumer tech devices (cellphones, laptops, headphones) and used as one of many inputs to improve software applications and operating systems. Could EMG or EEG data be used to improve iOS autocorrect and reduce fat finger mistakes? That's a mundane application for crazy tech, but it's the kind of thing that I think will be a necessary intermediate step in us learning how to use these types of signals in everyday ways.

I work at OpenBCI. It's been great getting to work with Gabe and the Valve team. Can't overstate how unique they are as partners on a project like this. Also cool to see OpenBCI (sortof) in the top 10 today :)

Happy to answer any questions people have about OpenBCI https://openbci.com/

big fan of his point that the technology is moving so fast that it doesn't make sense to lock-in and go mass market yet

I cycle daily in NYC and have used both Citymapper and Google Maps

Google Maps' cycling instructions route me onto streets with bicycle lanes. I haven't had any problems with it and I think it's a fine option. Maybe because NYC is the type of location google has excellent data on.

Citymapper is also good. The fastest vs quietest distinction doesn't often yield much of a change in route. What I like about citymapper is you can distinguish between riding a personal bike, or riding a bike rental. Sometimes when bringing a friend along, they rent a citibike, and it's nice to have the option for directions to take you to a docking station close to the destination.

"His involvement with the 77th Brigade was made public when he disclosed it on his page at LinkedIn, the online professional networking site."

Doxing yourself on Linkedin seems like a pretty amateur psyops move.

Security overkill but a cool proof of concept for using brain waves as an authentication method.
