Neuroengineering company Emotiv’s website shows photos of futuristic-type headsets reminiscent of props in the 1999 film The Matrix. These pieces of high-tech wireless hardware are EEG monitoring devices designed to evaluate electrical activity in the brain. Delivering the University of Vermont’s 2018 George D. Aiken Lecture, Emotiv’s founder and CEO, Tan Le, talks about the latest advances in this technology and its implications for the future. In her talk “From Refugee to Tech Revolutionary,” the inventor and entrepreneur also discusses her evolution from a child in war-torn Vietnam to an immigrant in Australia to an award-winning business leader.
