Modern medicine has reached heights once thought impossible. From helping repair brains, creating prosthetic limbs controlled by thought, and restoring movement after injury. These breakthroughs heal the body in incredible ways, but often miss one crucial unseen part of recovery.Before we begin, I encourage you to think about what healing means to you. Is it recovering from physical illness, weekly therapy sessions, a new environment, or something else entirely. We're often taught that healing comes in big ...

[Applause] [Applause] When I walked into that seventh grade classroom, I was carrying something a little bit weird. A homemade brainwave reading headset made from wires, tape, and a little hot glue. Most of the kids were laughing, but one skeptical 12-year-old raised his hand and asked a question.Can I try it. He slipped the headset on, watched his brain waves dance on the screen, his eyes widened, and he said something that I would never forget. If my brain runs on electricity, can I rewire it.For me, that ...

Core Idea - The presentation explores a novel approach to art creation using brainwave technology (EEG) to translate thoughts and emotions into audiovisual art in real-time [3][4][5][6][7] - The core of art should be alive, unfiltered, present, and capturing the essence of a moment in time [2] - The presenter calls this approach "full presence expression," emphasizing creation through being rather than doing [11] Technical Aspects - EEG technology captures brainwaves, which are then translated into digital signals to generate audiovisual art [5][6] - Different brainwave frequencies (beta and gamma for active thoughts, lower frequencies for calmness) correspond to different audiovisual parameters [8][9] - The system allows for a direct, raw sensory expression from the brain to the screen, akin to playing an instrument and painting simultaneously using the mind [7] Inspiration and Purpose - The project was inspired by working with underprivileged children with autism, ADHD, motor neuron disorders, and sensory impairments, who are often excluded from traditional art forms [14][15][16] - The aim is to provide a means for these individuals to express their inner voices, feelings, and emotions through art, showcasing their inner beauty and presence [17][18] - The project seeks to redefine art and expand the definition of who can be an artist, promoting connection and understanding beyond typical labels [18][20] Key Takeaway - The presentation encourages embracing inner freedom, courage, and essence to express oneself fully, unconstrained by societal norms or limitations [19][20]

Core Insights - Bristol Myers (BMY) is focusing on expanding its pipeline due to the negative impact of generics on its legacy portfolio, particularly Revlimid, Pomalyst, Sprycel, and Abraxane [1] - The FDA has granted Fast Track Designation to BMS-986446, an anti-MTBR-tau antibody in phase II development for early Alzheimer's disease [1][10] - BMY's neuroscience portfolio has been enhanced by the FDA approval of xanomeline and trospium chloride (Cobenfy) for schizophrenia, with initial sales of $62 million in the first half of 2025 [2][3] Neuroscience Pipeline - Cobenfy is undergoing registrational trials for Alzheimer's disease, including studies on psychosis, agitation, and cognitive impairment, and is also in a phase III study for bipolar 1 disorder [4] - The drug is expected to be a significant growth driver for BMY as it seeks label expansions into new indications [4] - BMY's neuroscience pipeline includes candidates for neurodegenerative diseases (BMS-986495) and treatments for multiple sclerosis, mood, and anxiety disorders [5] Competitive Landscape - BMY's Alzheimer's candidates will face competition from existing products like Eli Lilly's Kisunla and Biogen and Eisai's Leqembi upon potential approval [6] - Eli Lilly's Kisunla was approved for early symptomatic Alzheimer's disease, and ongoing trials are evaluating its efficacy in preclinical stages [7][8] Financial Performance - BMY's shares have declined by 17.1% year-to-date, contrasting with the industry's growth of 10.4% [9] - The company is trading at a price/earnings ratio of 7.24X forward earnings, below its historical mean of 8.45X and the large-cap pharma industry's average of 15.87X [11] - The bottom-line estimate for 2025 has increased to $6.51 from $6.46, while the estimate for 2026 has decreased to $6.06 from $6.07 [13]

Neuroscience of Adolescence - Adolescence is a unique window of opportunity due to increased neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to reorganize itself and form new neural connections [2][5] - During teenage years, brains are most adaptable, primed for learning and growth, but also highly susceptible to negative influences [5] - Environments directly impact brain growth, highlighting the importance of harnessing neuroplasticity to focus, adapt, and thrive [6] - Neuroscience reveals adolescence is about brains actively shaping who individuals become, with neuroplasticity at its peak [7] Enhancing Focus and Habits - Exercise and mindfulness produce brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that supports neurogenesis, the production of new neurons [8] - Neuroplasticity thrives on challenge, novelty, and even failure, as brains form new connections in uncomfortable situations [8][9] - Focus is about saying yes to the right things, activating the prefrontal cortex, the brain's CEO responsible for decision making and planning [10][11] - Small achievements release dopamine, the brain's feel-good neurotransmitter, suggesting breaking down goals into smaller, manageable tasks [12][13] - Multitasking is ineffective; the brain prefers doing one thing well, and switching between tasks leads to lost time and productivity [13][14] - Habit stacking involves pairing a new habit with an existing one to prime the brain for focus and growth [15] Influence of Environment and Social Connections - Individuals mirror the behaviors of those around them due to mirror neurons, emphasizing the importance of surrounding oneself with optimistic and supportive people [17][18] - Being intentional with what one consumes and being an inspiration for others can create a ripple effect of positive influence [19][20]

Albert Einstein once said, "Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. " But what if I told you that your brain is shaping that illusion every second? Imagine a scenario where two different people are stuck in traffic. One is frustrated, holding on to the wheel, thinking, "Why does this always happen to me. Now, at the same time, the other person looks at the delay in a unique way.A chance to enjoy their favorite podcast. Same situation, completely different experiences. Why.There is just ...

[Applause] You're not actually looking at me right now. What you're seeing is your brain's best guess. Your eyes aren't windows that you're looking through.What's happening is far stranger. Your brain takes millions of sensory signals, filters them through your memories, beliefs, and expectations, and then renders its version of the external world. What you're seeing is an internal image.This is what neuroscientists call the active inference model of the brain. But here's where it gets even more strange. It ...
