Optogenetics is big news in neuroscience and could potentially change the lives of millions of humans who have lost sensations in parts of their bodies due to nerve damage or the loss of limbs even. Neurons in the brain work together to harvest thoughts and behaviors. Optogenetics is a technique used in biology using the combination of genetics and light to control events within these precise cells of living tissues. This technique allows scientists to casually manipulate cells and activate them directly. In this interview UC Berkeley Postdoctoral Fellow, Alan Robert Mardinly, shares the research and development UC Berkeley neuroscientists are working on to build equipment using a holographic approach on the brain which activates or suppresses a group of neurons all at once to stimulate brain activity and insert false sensations. Essentially this manipulates it into thinking it has felt, seen or sensed something. Based on the activity which is closely being monitored, researchers then decide which neurons to activate to simulate those patterns again in order to substitute missing sensations. This groundbreaking technology could change the lives of anyone who has lost a limb or feeling in parts of their body due to severe nerve damage, for example.

Mark Jeffrey is the award-winning co-founder and CEO of Guardian Circle, a service tackling an extremely critical industry most of us take for granted… emergency response. He's also a serial entrepreneur with five exits, a published author, named one of '50 to Watch' by Variety, and worked closely with some of the biggest names in tech including Jason Calacanis and Travis Kalanick. Guardian Circle will support the six BILLION people worldwide and in developing countries, who have no emergency services at all — particularly in countries like India where a woman is sexually assaulted every 15 minutes. Guardian Circle is the first emergency response system that acts as an AMBER Alert-style warning for your own private network. The app offers four different alert levels: Emergency, Urgent, Request and Only A Test, so your guardians know the severity of your request, can communicate with one another and organize a response team, dispatching help closest to your emergency. These guardians are then rewarded in cryptocurrency with Guardium, the company's new token built on NEO. Tokens can be redeemed for more services or sold for fiat currency within the platform. All transactions are recorded using blockchain-based smart contracts. Guardium's token sale is going on now and closes June 1, 2018 @ 6:59AM (UTC)
