Julia Brown (MindX) Shines New Light on Brain-Computer Interfaces

Julia Brown is the co-founder and CEO of MindX, the creator of a novel brain computer interface that combines neurotechnology, augmented reality and artificial intelligence to create a "look-and-think” interface for next-generation spatial computing applications. 

 

Prior to starting MindX, Julia co-founded EpiWatch, a digital health spin-out from Johns Hopkins that developed a seizure detection and condition management platform for wearable devices in partnership with Apple. 

 

She was also a founding member of the Johns Hopkins Medicine Technology Innovation Center, where she oversaw a team of engineers and entrepreneurs to create 25+ novel digital solutions that improve patient care, many of which were spun out into independent startup companies.

 

Julia has an academic background in computational biology, engineering, and human-centered design.

In this conversation we get into the potential of brain computer interfaces and their contribution to private, personal computing when wearing AR glasses. Julia goes on to describe alternative approaches for brain computer interfaces, including those using EMG and EEG. 

And of course we dig into what Julia and her team are creating at MindX, which utilizes what they call Holographic Near Infrared Spectroscopy. We talk through where they are in bringing their product to market and what will be possible in the coming years. 

Julia also touches on lessons learned in working with academic research labs when bringing cutting edge innovation to market.
