Max is the President of BrainCo, a brain-computer interface (BCI) company incubated in the Harvard Innovation Lab that develops fundamental BCI technology to unlock human potential. 

Max spent the last decade studying cognitive science and neuroscience, human development, and mind-body approaches to wellness and performance. He earned his Master’s degree from Harvard University and conducted fMRI research at some of the best hospitals in the world, as well as studied invasive BMI technology on people with Parkinson’s disease. At BrainCo, he leads the visionary team that is bringing BMI technology to the world so that millions of people can benefit from the next technological revolution that will unlock human potential.

Mostafa ‘Neo’ Mohsenvand is the Head of Research at BrainCo and a postdoctoral research scientist at MIT Media Lab. He obtained his PhD in Brain-Computer Interfacing at MIT and his masters degree in Applied Mathematics at the University of Oxford. Neo’s expertise is in computational neuroscience, artificial intelligence, recording and decoding brain waves (EEG) and mathematical modeling of biological and sociological systems. In 2017 and 2018, he recorded his life (from a chest-worn camera) for 3000 hours alongside simultaneous EEG, heart rate, galvanic skin response, and other signals. He has worked on self-supervised learning applied to EEG signals and building a new medical device that allows the users to "hear" electrophysiological signals in real-time.

Fez has been teaching meditation in the Boston area since 2000.  He is a two-time cancer survivor, a musician, husband, and father.  Fez has worked closely with his teacher, Tom Alden, for 15 years. He has taught meditation and yoga to groups at various institutions and to diverse populations including physicians, med students, college students, dancers, choreographers, writers, musicians, business owners, social workers, cancer patients, trauma survivors and people in recovery from addictions.  The Lionheart Foundation asked Fez to develop a yoga curriculum for prisoners in solitary confinement in the California State Prison System. With Lionheart, he has also led meditations for teenaged inmates at the Bay State Youth Correctional Facility, and led a meditation program for youth at risk, students, staff and social workers from diverse backgrounds filmed at ROCA in Chelsea, MA.
