New tech can help people and businesses Criminals can take advantage of neurotech, too Hacking BCIs Mind reading and brain hacking - no longer sci-fi Will ethics and the law catch up? Neurotechnology has advanced further than you probably realise.
Ramsay Brown is a Neurotechnologist, Strategy Consultant, and Futurist Philosopher. An emerging leader in Persuasive Technology & AI, Ramsay's work explores how neuroscience and AI can be used to help people, businesses, and societies flourish. Rams holds a master's degree in Neuroinformatics from the University of Southern California's Brain Architecture Center, where he pioneered a Google Maps for the Brain.
Brain hacking is the latest offshoot of the biohacking movement which uses simple tricks and techniques to upgrade the performance of your body and mind. In broad terms, hacking the brain is practice of trying to enhance brainpower in areas such as memory, reasoning, mental fluidity, productivity, energy and mood.
People have always sought advantages over their rivals. But trying to improve intelligence as a way to do it has been off-limits. An education can be bought, but ability? You either had it or you didn't. Now a new science called cognitive enhancement promises that someone who doesn't have intelligence today could have it tomorrow.

Ramsay Brown, Co Founder & COO, Boundless Mind, speaks with Jacki Karsh for MontyTV at The Montgomery Summit 2018 presented by Macquarie.
My guest today works at the intersection of artificial intelligence, neurochemistry, and human behavior. Ramsay Brown is Co-Founder and COO of Boundless Mind (formerly Dopamine Labs), where he and his team work on persuasive AI and behavioral design.
Ramsay Brown: Mind Control APIs and the future and ethics of persuasive machines
Mind control has gone from sci-fi to API. Now AI in the cloud adjust mathematical parameters and cause fitness enthusiasts in real life to run more and diet better. A high-five here - an optimization there - we now share a world with increasingly intelligent machines designed to shape our behavior.
This past weekend, I was fortunate enough to travel to Los Angeles, and interview Ramsay Brown from Dopamine Labs. He and his company have been receiving a lot of hate in the media lately, and I wanted to find out why. I came into the interview with a very negative mindset, ready for the worst from him.

Dopamine Labs slings tools to boost and reduce app addiction
Meet the tech company that wants to make you even more addicted to your phone
a computer programmer who knows how the brain works can now program code that will get the brain to do certain things
tech companies are tapping into what makes people addicted to something to get them to keep coming back, especially for social apps
how the pieces of the brain that handle addiction are working to add them to the apps ramsey brown venus beach
With a magic line of code, Dopamine Labs aims to give any app the same addictive power that Facebook, Zynga and others have spent millions to perfect.
The company — a product of the little-heard joke “What do you get when a neuro-psychologist and a neuro-economist walk into bar?” — is the culmination of years of research that Ramsay Brown and co-founder T. Dalton Combs conducted at the University of Southern California.
Now, armed with $1 million in seed funding and some initial data that their experiments in mind control actually work, Dopamine Labs is spending money to boost its staff and sales and marketing efforts to bring more apps in on its brain science.
Beyond Lowercase Capital, additional investments in the round came from Social Starts, one of the most prolific early-stage investment firms; Deep Fork Capital; and First Round Capital founder Howard Morgan, through a personal investment. Morgan is also taking a seat on the Dopamine Labs board of directors.
