In an astonishing talk and tech demo, neurotechnologist Conor Russomanno shares his work building brain-computer interfaces that could enable us to control the external world with our minds. He discusses the quickly advancing possibilities of this field -- including the promise of a "closed-loop system" that could both record and stimulate brain activity -- and invites neurohacker Christian Bayerlein onto the TED stage to fly a mind-controlled drone by using a biosensing headset.

Conor Russomanno: A powerful new neurotech tool for augmenting your mind

A powerful new neurotech tool for augmenting your mind

Harnessing the power of neurotechnology, a groundbreaking tool, Galea, merges biometrics with mixed reality, sparking cognitive exploration.

Harnessing brain data with muscle, heart, and environmental sensors enriches our understanding of mind and consciousness.

OpenBCI innovates with Galea, blending biosensing with VR to explore cognitive states like stress and focus, revolutionizing neurotech.
