Dr. Daniel Chao will explain the science behind his product, Halo Sport, and outline the biggest opportunities in neurotechnology.
Dr. Daniel Chao is a neuroscientist and entrepreneur who specializes in technology that improves brain performance. Dr. Chao is the Co-Founder and CEO of Halo Neuroscience, a venture-backed human performance company based in San Francisco. Prior to founding Halo, Dr. Chao was the head of business development at NeuroPace, where he helped create the world's first closed-loop neurostimulation device for the treatment of epilepsy. He received his M.D. and M.S. in neuroscience from Stanford University.
Halo Neuroscience develops neurotechnology to unlock human potential. Our first product, Halo Sport, applies transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to the motor cortex during athletic training, resulting in accelerated gains in strength, endurance, and skill. Halo Sport is now live with teams and athletes from the U.S. military, the Olympics, the NFL, the NBA, the MLB, and the NCAA. Our long-term goal is to build a suite of Halo products that will use neurostimulation to optimize both human performance and human health.
