Eureka! is excited to be hosting the brilliant neuroscientist Dr. Vivienne Ming, who will be giving a talk on Artificial Intelligence, behavioral economics, and the human brain! This special Eureka! show is sponsored by the entrepreneur incubator Hero City at Draper University.



Dr. Ming was named one of 10 Women to Watch in Tech in 2013 by Inc. Magazine. She co-founded Socos, where machine learning and cognitive neuroscience combine to maximize students' life outcomes. Vivienne is also a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley's Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience, where she pursues her research in neuroprosthetics.



Joining her and hosts Allen Saakyan and Kevin Whittinghill will be the hilarious comedy stylings of Joey Avery (Fox TV) and Dhaya Lakshminarayanan (Moth StorySLAM).
