Brain Computer Interfaces
David has a keen interest in BCI (brain computer interfaces) and is considering venturing into this space in a business capacity in the future. A BCI acts as a direct communication link between an external device (usually a robotic limb or computer) and the brain’s electrical activity, and they are most commonly used to research, assist, map, repair or augment human sensory-motor or cognitive functions. These implementations can range from invasive to partially invasive to non-invasive, based on the physical proximity of the electrodes to the brain tissue.
Combatting Climate Change
David has an indirect affiliation with the company 360green, which exists to pioneer a carbon-neutral, sustainable world by championing solutions designed to uplift communities and combat climate change via meaningful partnerships, with the ultimate goal being to safeguard the Earth’s precious ecosystems.
Hobbies & Interests
In his free time, David enjoys hiking, going to the gym, running, listening to music and reading – some of his favourite books include Gobel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas Hofstadter and The Pity of It All by Amos Elon, as well as books about philosophy and the mind. Travel is another of David’s passions, and he particularly likes visiting India for its spirituality and Japan and Europe for skiing.
