SUMMARY:Aspen Mastermind Presents Dr. Oren Shriki
DESCRIPTION:IN PARTNERSHIP WITH  \nPRESENTS \n \nDr. Oren ShrikiHeadDepartment of Cognitive and Brain SciencesBen-Gurion University of the Negev&CTO and Co-founderNeuroHelp \nWhat exactly is neurotechnology? How do the brain & computer actually interface? Is our future reality “wired up human brains to machines”? \nThrough the study of the brain-computer interface\, Dr. Shriki has moved the study of\, and treatment for\, those with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (frequently referred to as Lou Gherig’s Disease or ALS) forward by leaps and bounds through the BCI4ALS Course\, which develops personalized brain-computer interfaces for those with ALS. With his company\, NeuroHelp\, he is creating a wearable system for epileptic seizure prediction.  \nYet some people worry about a future where such technology exists and the ethics of its existence. \nIf we can create a system that improves the quality of life for those with ALS by providing an avenue through which individuals can communicate beyond what would be available without such a system\, are we asking these individuals to give up the sanctity and privacy of thought? What is being given up by having a system that can predict epileptic seizures\, allowing sufferers to remove themselves from harms way before a seizure occurs?  \nCan those with such life changing\, quality of life improving\, systems be manipulated through programming? Are these- and many other dilemmas- worth the risk?  \nWhere does such a system fit into the mainstream world? With the metaverse growing exponentially\, the reality of our human existence is being called in to question more and more frequently. \nDr. Shriki could be understood as being an architect on the frontier of a brave new world.  \nWe are living in a time where scientists are rapidly proving how technology can improve our lives- from the iPhone to the systems that are allowing those with ALS to communicate\, those with epilepsy to be alerted- what is next? What other life changing technologies are on the horizon? \nPlease join us in conversation with Dr. Shriki as we discuss the fascinating realm of the brain-computer interface- where it has been and where it is going; how this can help and where we should have concerns. Moderated by Roy Vella\, we will be discussing this and the other incredible projects that he is working on in his lab and the Ben-Gurion University on Wednesday\, November 16th.  \nPlease join us by registering HERE.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDate: November 16thTime: 12:00 pm MTRegister Here.

SUMMARY:Aspen Mastermind Presents The Legendary Greg Stump
DESCRIPTION:Presents\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTHE LEGENDARYGREG STUMP  \n \nMost of us know classic movies like The Wizard of Oz\, Maltese Falcon\, or Fistfull of Dollars.  \nBut in the ski world\, there’s Groove: Requiem In the Key of Ski\, Blizzard of Aahhh’s\, Maltese Flamingo\, Fistful of Moguls\, and more\, all due to the visionary\, Greg Stump! \nA national freestyle champion with deep roots in film and music\, Greg Stump transformed ski movies with extreme action\, music\, and personality. When Greg was an earnest young prodigy at Maine’s Pleasant Mountain en route to becoming the North American freestyle champion\, he kicked off one of his ballet runs by detonating a bomb. \nStump’s brash\, bad-boy image concealed the hard work and preparation behind the bravado\, as he actually brought impressive ski\, film\, and music credentials to the field. He made extreme mainstream\, not just for skiing\, but for American culture\, and encouraged the athletes to tell their stories. \nStump inspired a generation of skiers and riders\, as well as the founding of film companies like Teton Gravity Research and Matchstick Productions. He welcomed snowboarders to the party\, and built & filmed the first boarder cross course. The New York Times labelled him a “maverick\,” while Playboy said he was “a true master of gonzodom.” When Skiing Magazine released its list of the “25 Most Influential People in Skiing” of all time\, Stump was on it.  \nJoin CBS Broadcasting ski announcer turned poet\, Greg Lewis & Vlad C.
