BrainGurion 7.0
Resilient Mind in Emergency Times
24 Hours, 100 driven students.
Together, our participants will prototype breakthrough technologies that upgrade human abilities—think real‑world SUPERPOWERS powered by cutting‑edge human‑machine interfaces. By pushing the very limits of human performance, they’ll explore what’s possible when biology meets technology. Guided by top‑tier mentors and armed with state‑of‑the‑art equipment, each team will turn bold ideas into working demos before the clock runs out.
The Challenge
Within 24 hours, you and your teammates will design, prototype, and pitch a product that measurably upgrades the mental resilience in emergency times.
The neurological component can be expressed by control of the product or feedback. The product can be digital or physical, and may be supported by a combination of technologies, such as EEG, Virtual Reality (VR), Microcontrollers and Robots.
Innovation
How innovative is the technology or idea?
Uniqueness
How distinct is the product from the other same solution products?
Neurological components
How much does the product rely on neurophysiological activity and human monitoring?
Prototype
Is the product ready for proving concept use?
Product Impact
How effective is the product in improving human capabilities?
Pitch Deck
Quality of presentation.
Bonus
The judges' discretion regarding the “additional value” of the product.
