<H1 STYLE="margin-top: 30px; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #333;">Technodelics: Mind Revealing Technologies</H1>
<H3 STYLE="font-size: 12px; font-weight: normal; color: #666; margin-bottom: 30px;">Presented by Vincent Horn, Founder of Buddhist Geeks</H3>
<IMG STYLE="margin-bottom: 30px;" SRC="http://05cabfa2b469394e0d19-028ca5a711ca240773905d4750084a55.r1.cf2.rackcdn.com/technodelics_hero.jpg" ALT="" WIDTH="596">
<P STYLE="font-size: 14px; border: none; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; color: #333;">Today there is a convergence of trends on the horizon that could have a dramatic impact on how we understand and explore consciousness. Thousands of years of contemplative wisdom and an emerging science of both meditation and psychedelic compounds is coming together with next generation hardware--things like augmented & virtual reality headsets, wearable computers and sensors, and neurotech devices that can directly read and stimulate the brain. In this talk we will explore the nascent edge of this emerging class of technodelic devices and look at how they could very well usher in a new era of interest in consciousness.</P>
<P STYLE="font-size: 14px; border: none; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; color: #333; margin-bottom: 30px;">Vincent Horn is part of a new generation of teachers translating age-old wisdom into 21st century code. A computer engineering dropout turned modern monk, Vincent spent his 20s co-founding and running <A STYLE="text-decoration: none;" HREF="http://www.buddhistgeeks.com/" REL="nofollow">Buddhist Geeks</A> while doing a full year of silent meditation practice. Having come back to the world with open hands he continues to podcast and teach through Buddhist Geeks, helps hack minds at <A STYLE="text-decoration: none;" HREF="http://www.mindtraining.io/" REL="nofollow">mindtraining.io</A>, and works with CEOs and technology companies through <A STYLE="text-decoration: none;" HREF="https://www.reboot.io/" REL="nofollow">reboot</A>.io. Vincent has been called a power player of the mindfulness movement by Wired magazine and was honored to be featured in Wired UK's Smart List 2012: 50 people who will change the world. He is married to the super-fly Emily Horn and is father to a little boy named Zander.</P>
