In today's episode I chat with Amir Bozorgzadeh, a market researcher, games publisher, and tech writer, currently working at the intersection of frontier tech and social impact.

He is also the Co-Founder & CEO of Virtuleap, a Lisbon-based organization that combines neuroscience and virtual reality to help increase attention levels, and address cognitive illnesses, disorders, and learning challenges. They've created a library of VR games designed by neuroscientists in order to test and train a range of cognitive abilities and make that data accessible through our enterprise platform. And they're working with leading institutions like Roche, the VA Health Care System and MIT to validate their solution as an effective diagnostic and treatment for attention deficit and cognitive decline.

It's interesting stuff. And over the cause of nearly an hour, Amir and I geeked out on the applications and use cases for virtuleap's technology, what the organization has learned as a result of the pandemic, and how virtual reality may hold the key to improving brain health globally.

It's always such a pleasure connecting with smart, purpose-minded leaders with Amir... and I hope you enjoy it.\\xa0
