Unlocking the Brain: Tan Le on Neurotech, AI & Human Potential

What if you could control technology using only your thoughts?

Today on Digital Disruption, we’re joined by an expert in the space of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), Tan Le.

Tan is the founder and CEO of EMOTIV, a Silicon Valley–based company pioneering EEG-based BCI technology. Her work centers on noninvasive “brainwear” that enables direct interaction between the human brain and computers. Tan is an advocate for democratizing neurotechnology to empower individuals, researchers, and organizations to drive innovation. In February 2020, she published her first book, "The NeuroGeneration: The New Era of Brain Enhancement Revolutionizing the Way We Think, Work and Heal."

Tan sits down with Geoff to talk about how her company is making it possible to connect your brain directly to digital systems no hype, just science. From decoding mental commands to enhancing human cognition, they dive into the ethical challenges of reading brain data, what it really means to give technology access to your mind, and why noninvasive headsets are reshaping human-computer interaction.
