The most recent BrainMind Summit hosted with Stanford convened on October 12-13, 2019.
BrainMind is building a best-in-class community around the mission to advance neuroscience innovation that will most benefit humanity. This summit catalyzed focused and informal collaborations between sector-defining scientists, entrepreneurs, operators, investors, leaders, thinkers, and philanthropists.
Far from the typical scientific meeting, this private gathering was centered around opportunities to have a direct impact on the science presented, and to meaningfully engage with a carefully curated, truly multidisciplinary community. Along with the world’s top thought leaders in neuroscience and philosophy of mind, all Summit participants were personally selected for their brilliance, effectiveness, sincerity, and intent.
Invited participants explored a curated collection of cutting-edge discoveries in neuroscience, engaged with the scientists behind those ideas, and advised promising early-stage companies - all with the goal of bringing brain science to the world at scale.
