Emerging Research and Technologies for Life Hacking
Life hacking. Brain training. They are one and the same. The brain’s frontal lobes enable our goal-oriented behavior, supporting “executive functions,” such as decision-making, attention, emotional self-regulation, goal-setting, and working memory. These functions can be enhanced with targeted practice – such as life hacking. This session will provide an overview of the cognitive neuroscience underpinning life hacking, and review the state-of-the-art of non-invasive tools for brain training: neurofeedback, biofeedback, software applications, cognitive simulations, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, and plain-old meditation.

Excellent presentation. O’Reilly should have assigned a bigger room, there were people sitting on the floor ans standing up. Brain hacking is fascinating. This was of the best talks at ETech 09.
Very good presentation.
