NeuroTechX

I am the co-founder and team leader of the Buenos Aires chapter of NeuroTechX, a key part of the world’s largest non-profit neurotechnology community.

Our mission at NeuroTechX Buenos Aires is to advance the field of neurotechnology by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) with neuroscience. This integration aims to foster innovative technological developments.

At NeuroTechX Buenos Aires, we have achieved several important milestones. We organized a series of seminars on computational neuroscience that attracted a diverse audience of experts and enthusiasts. We have also conducted workshops on AI and neuroscience at national and international conferences. Our active participation in major events, such as the AI Litoral 2023 conference, underscores our commitment to advancing neurotech knowledge in our region.

One of our notable achievements was leading the Buenos Aires chapter in a two-day hybrid hackathon organized by the global NeuroTechX. This event attracted significant in-person participation and further established our presence in the neurotech community. We have also hosted meetups with founders and prominent researchers in the neurotech ecosystem to discuss the latest advances in neurotechnology.

At NeuroTechX, we have successfully grown our community on Slack to over 200 active members. This growth has fostered a dynamic environment for discussion, collaboration, and knowledge sharing in the field of neurotechnology.
