“We are all now connected by the internet, like neurons in a giant brain.”
About
Yasmeen is a neurotechnology sales/business development consultant, creative technologist, and professional racing sailor. Her main goal is to support the go-to-market success of novel consumer neurotechnologies that focus on cognitive health improvements. She has consulted for companies like OpenBCI, NeurotechX Consultancy Services, etc. With 4+ years of research experience, Yasmeen also prototyped brain-computer interface (BCI) wearables at the MIT Media Lab and Augmentation Lab at Harvard with neurotech, wearables and industrial design to build the world’s first brain-controlled robot dog for people with paralysis.
Her passion for neurotechnology also expands to art, where she recorded EEG brain waves from 200+ people across New York, Boston, and Toronto, to create the first brain-controlled art piece to be featured on a Times Square billboard. Outside of brains, she is a licensed skipper who enjoys sailing competitively in international races ranging from the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas to the Great Lakes.
Why neurotechnology?
Yasmeen believes neurotechnology has the potential to kickstart the next generation of touchless interfaces. Where your body becomes the only interface you need to keep your brain healthy. Her projects aim to highlight the different mediums neurotechnology can currently exist through, from medical robotics to the theatrical arts. Her work hopes to entertain other’s imaginations to a future where neurotech is invisibly intertwined into our lives safely with wearables and novel compute aimed at an extended reality tailored to augment cognition. In the words of Marshall McLuhan, “the medium is the message” in these intersections of technology.
