68: How to understand your brain with MEG? With Caitlin from MYndspan
Update: 2024-08-28
Description
On this episode, Caitlin Baltzer, CEO and Co-founder of MYndspan helps us imagine a world where access to information on how our brain works is at our fingertips. MYndspan is a platform which uses a unique brain scanning technology called magnetoencephalography or more easily known as the MEG scanner. This non-invasive, millimetre-accurate scanning can offer a new perspective on brain function. The data can provide early detection for neurodegenerative illnesses and also provide new intelligence for personalised day-to-day brain health interventions. We start the journey with Caitlin with her banking career in Toronto.
