Flash Forward is a show about possible (and not so possible) future scenarios. What would the warranty on a sex robot look like? How would diplomacy work if we couldn’t lie? Could there ever be a fecal transplant black market? (Complicated, it wouldn’t, and yes, respectively, in case you’re curious.)

On this episode, Caitlin Baltzer, CEO and Co-founder of MYndspan helps us imagine a world where access to information on how our brain works is at our fingertips. MYndspan is a platform which uses a unique brain scanning technology called magnetoencephalography or more easily known as the MEG scanner. This non-invasive, millimetre-accurate scanning can offer a new perspective on brain function. The data can provide early detection for neurodegenerative illnesses and also provide new intelligence for personalised day-to-day brain health interventions. We start the journey with Caitlin with her banking career in Toronto.
Discover:
- How working on due diligence of a new technology led her to MEG
- How she began learning about magnetoencephalography or MEG
- How joining the manufacturer of the brain scanner after their acquisition led to MYndspan
- How the MEG scanner is more effective than an MRI at diagnosing ‘invisible injuries’ such as neural trauma
- How MYndspan is being expanded for general use in the UK and Canada
- How MYndspan appointments can give you a comprehensive view of your brain functioning
- How MYndspan can visualise information for effective lifestyle changes
- How 40% of dementias could be preventable using MEG
- How people can use the information to make effective interventions
- How their goal is to partner with research institutions
- How they’re currently setting up a London site for 100% accessibility
