Hi everyone. I'm Dawn Kolpin, a Development and Strategy Consultant for startups. I just joined the NeuroTechEDU committee. I'm currently based in the US after moving my family from London. I've been consulting in the areas of online audience, virtual communities, content strategy & media development, gaming, and marketing communications since Netscape Communicator was released (so I've had the pleasure to help launch a few new technologies and platforms). I'm fascinated by educational technology, immersive technology, and our human experience with emerging technology platforms. My academic background is in Cultural Anthropology, and my professional background is in media and marketing comms, audience development, and strategic development. I love the dynamic potential of neuroscience and neurotechnology with all the hope and wonder that a non-programming futurist like myself can dream of. I am thrilled to be working with Sydney, Yannick, and the rest of you at NeuroTechX. Thank you! [ Bio: http://linkedin.com/in/dawnkolpin ]

Hi everyone,
I�m Bechir from London, UK (originally from France). In the past I worked on a couple of research projects in neuroscience (visual prosthetics to restore sight to the blind in Boston, USA / machine learning applied to fMRI in Japan / decoding of pain and touch from EEG/microneurography in London) before leaving academia and working as a freelance data scientist. I am currently part of a startup accelerator in London and I am interested in exploring consumer/industrial applications of BCI/neurotech.

dawnkolpin :
Hi all.
I'll be back in London for work at the end of May and most of June. Please can you let me know if there any NeuroTechX chapter events, or meet-ups?
Thanks,

Hi NeuroTechLDN,
Hope you are well. Please could you help me with a request? I am the London Ambassador for SingularityU Chapter of Singularity University.
Our mission is to apply exponential technologies that can solve humanities grand challenges. You can read about the work we do at
https://www.facebook.com/mitesh.soni.1969/posts/10154743996732741
As part of our event schedule we are holding a small dinner evening to share ideas and learn about Brain Machine Interfaces and we are trying to locate a couple of Subject Matter Experts that can add some interesting perspective on the matter. Would you be so kind to help us find any interested people that could help us? We'd also love for any of your community to join the Singularity Movement!
Realise it is short notice but would be grateful for your support.
thanks
Mitesh

Hi guys, I just wanted to raise awareness of an event run by company I am working with at the moment, called Encode Health. We are holding a workshop on Saturday the 8th to discuss needs in digital health, and common problems people have experienced in accessing healthcare. Our agenda includes open discussions and guided, interactive brainstorm activities on the topics of Medical Conditions, Life Events, Digital Technologies, Patient Empathy and more.
We have a few openings available and thought there might be some like-minded individuals who would be interested in attending. It will be from 9:45 AM � 4:30 PM near Shepherds Bush and lunch will be provided. PM for more information.

Hi London based Neurotech folk. I am hosting a talk in November about the use of EEG in industry and I was wondering if anyone was open to being on the panel on the side of industry or current industry applications. This includes anything from neuromarketing to usability and product design. Thanks.
