Description

Could reaction speed be the missing metric for brain health? Dexter Ang shares how wrist-based neurotechnology quantifies cognition, personalizes interventions, & supports long-term mental performance for executives & elite performers. Meet our guest Dexter Ang is the co-founder & CEO of Pison Technology, developing wearable neuromuscular sensing & nervous system interfaces. Inspired by caring for his mother after her ALS diagnosis, he returned to MIT to build sensors that translate wrist biopotentials into digital commands. His work bridges human biology & digital systems across assistive technology, robotics, IoT & defense.
