On Sunday, April 14, 2024, at 1 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, watch the U.S. Transhumanist Party’s conversation with Dr. Avinash Singh on the subject of brain-computer interfaces (BCI) and both the current state and the future prospects for this area of technology – including dream recording, neuroadaptive applications, and sensory augmentation. U.S. Transhumanist Party Chairman Gennady Stolyarov II, along with Art Ramon Garcia (Director of Visual Art) and Ben Ballweg (Director of Longevity Outreach) speak with Dr. Singh about the societal implications of BCI technology – both in terms of individual empowerment and the need to develop robust privacy safeguards to ensure that the outputs of one’s brain activity remain under one’s control and one’s ability to determine how they might be used. 
Dr. Avinash Singh is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at the School of Computer Science, University of Technology Sydney (UTS), Australia, and the Founder of India Future Society, a think tank. He is also co-chair of the IEEE Neuroethics Framework for Workplace, sponsored by IEEE Brain, and a member of the IEEE Standards Committee on Unifying Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). Additionally, he is a member of Transhumanism Australia and actively advocates for promoting transhumanism. In 2021, he was awarded the Google TensorFlow Faculty Award to support and promote his work in BCI.
Dr. Singh completed his Ph.D. in Computer Science in 2019 at UTS, Australia, collaborating with the Technical University of Berlin, Germany, the University of California San Diego, USA, and the US Army Research Lab. Prior to earning his doctorate, he received a Master's in Software Systems in 2013 from Birla Institute of Technology and Science in Pilani, India.
Working at the intersection of machine learning, cognitive neuroscience, and mixed-reality, Dr. Singh is dedicated to designing and developing real-world neuroadaptive BCI systems. His current research interests include integrating artificial intelligence (AI) technologies with cognitive neuroscience knowledge to explore cognitive functions, discover relationships between brain dynamics, evaluate everyday interactions, and make decisions to develop robust next-generation neuroadaptive BCIs.
