Follow me to see #HeadsTalk Podcast Audiograms every Monday on LinkedInEpisode Title: 🇺🇸The Nexus between Neuroscience, Neurotechnology & Anaesthesiology🇺🇸In this 140th episode of HeadsTalk,  still in the #HTNeurotechSeries, I’m excited about this guest today. He is the renowned Computational and Systems  Neuroscientist, Anaesthesiologist and Statistician Professor Emery N. Brown who holds endowed chairs at Harvard and MIT and is considered one of the world’s experts on Anaesthesiology.The thing that struck me about Prof.  Brown was his humble persona. He was so gracious, communicative and our conversation continued well after the recording; and what a wonderful and memorable discussion it was. Despite his vast knowledge and unparalleled experience, at no point was I made to feel lesser. Remember, this is an individual that has a street named after him. Incredibly refreshing and admirable.It’s hard not to be taken aback by his many achievements, accolades and awards in the fields of Neuroscience and Anaesthesiology, a true legend. His accomplishments speak for themselves, rounded off by being only one of a handful of individuals who has been elected to all 3 branches of the US National Academy of Sciences, Engineering & Medicine. He served on President Obama’s BRAIN Initiative Working Group and famously testified at the Michael Jackson deposition. Prof Brown expert advice is renowned across the globe because of his meticulous research and analysis work on sleep, anaesthesia & the unconscious mind.So easy to be captivated by him & his mellifluous tones. Highly recommend a listen to some of his video lecture recordings. You’ll understand exactly what I mean.There is so much more to the science of anaesthesiology & I literally couldn’t have asked for a better individual to explain it to me.A brilliant episode!Topics Covered:◽️ Anaesthesiology◽️ The different levels and state of consciousness◽️ Understanding Neural Oscillation◽️Neuroscience within Anaesthesiology◽️The Theatre (Surgical)◽️Cross Pollination of roles between Neuroscientist & Anaesthesiologist◽️How Anaesthesiology integrates into other practice of Medicine◽️What’s left to do.So download⏳grab a cup of Bird & Blend Tea Co - Deep Breaths Tea ☕️& have a listen🛋Series Sponsored by PrivCap Resource GroupSeries Partnered with Foresight InstituteProf. Brown: TedMed TalkProf. Brown's book: Analysis of Neural DataNext week's guest announced on LinkedIn every Monday.

Episode Title:- 🇨🇦Roche Canada Leads on Neuroscience and Health Innovation🇨🇦In this week of International Women, I had a powerful conversation with a CEO of one of the biggest pharmaceutical corporations in the world.  We love talking about collaboration or partnership on HeadsTalk, especially how prevalent this has become post the pandemic. This conversation took a different direction to the partnership conversations we normally have. Brigitte Novel, CEO Roche Pharma Canada talks about the importance of the patient partnership they have and how this is cultivated by Roche. A tremendous amount of work, research and thought have gone into this and Brigitte, with her team at Roche Canada, are at the forefront; applying the right and latest enabling technologies. A conversation that shows you where Roche Canada is going and how this disruptive tech and 4th industrial revolution is driving this. Definitely a part 2 to this conversation to see and talk about how some of the ambitious targets discussed have been met. So stay tuned for that. I’m quietly confident that Part 2 will be equally enlightening. With regards to the episode, have a listen. It was great and I enjoyed how Brigitte waxed lyrical about the achievements of Canada and Roche in the field of Neuroscience, AL & ML. Many thanks to the Roche team who helped organise this fabulous episode today. I was so impressed with how smooth everything ran.   Topics Covered:◽️ Canada’s Leadership in AI & ML◽️ Neuroscience and the Ageing Population◽️ Roche Research and Development Excellence◽️ Big Pharma & Tech◽️ Healthcare Leadership◽️ Patient Partnership◽️ Tumour-agnostic medicinesSo download⏳grab a cup of Bird & Blend Tea Co - Honeycomb cookie d’oh!

A conversation that covered the many aspects of neuroscience and technology. We get a glimpse of a ‘day in the life of  Neuroscientist’ and a summary of the many ongoing projects. My guest today Prof. Renaud Jolivet, the Full Professor at Maastrich University, provided me with a comprehensive explanation and definition of some of the terminologies I came across during my research for this series; and put them in context and everyday use.  It was enlightening to listen to Renaud talk about his ongoing Neuroscience research work and projects - gives one a look at what’s to come in this space. Renaud has an impressive career, which when you listen to the episode was borne out of a sequence of accidents and incidents that lead him down the path of Neuroscience. He is the Chair of Neural Engineering & Computation at Maastricht University as well as the nominated representative for individual Researchers and Innovators at the European Commission's ERA Forum. Finally, he is an elected member of the Board of Directors at the Organisation for Computational Neuroscience.Topics Covered: - Development of a New Type of Brain Computer Interface - Neurotechnology Risks  - Human Rights in the Age of Neurotechnology  - Assessment of Neurotechnology in the Marketplace  - The Limited Understanding of how Information is ProcessedSo download⏳grab a cup of Bird & Blend Tea Co - Lemon Sherbert Tea ☕️& have a listen🛋Series Sponsored by - PrivCap Resource GroupSeries Partnered with Foresight InstituteNext week's guest announced on LinkedIn every Monday.
