Finally opening up about what I’m building. Demo day in March: come to see and try the device yourself! Announcing small and exclusive launch party soon. 🤫 P. S. @jason_mayes @googlechrome I still can’t believe you let me be on stage and can’t wait to present new product next!

@christyoverflow @luci_holland Omg 😍

guess where we went for dinner after <3

@finn_hulse 😂😂😂

the most beautiful woman i’ve ever met is in a love-hate situationship with the barely human equivalent of a white cheddar cheezit

@hthieblot @brycent Negative emotions tracking with @AoraBCI ‘s device!

@ founders What are you building this week end?

@AoraBCI ‘s pre-orders / waitlist of 10 USD’s from the last time I checked + some had paid offline, signed up. I’m now going FULL SPEED on this one starting next week. ENTP-A Sales Machine Dara in action. 😎 Next week will be final to pre order with all the perks as I’m planning to close those 100 people who get to use our device with all the possible discounted prices available. It won’t be as “cheap” anymore afterwords. I warned you! Book yours at aoramind.com

Gosh, for @AoraBCI now to succeed I have to travel back from INTJ to ENTP… God, why. 😭🔫 We have decided on our focus: negative / suicidal thoughts detection and relief providence using Aora’s device we are assembling. Direction is set, medical consilium in the face of Psychiatrist, Clinical Neuroscientist and potentially Cognitive Scientist onboarded. 2 latter people have affiliations with top Ivy League: Stanford and Berkeley. Tech / Hardware ex-Google co-founder onboarded + Founding Engineer who had been playing a key role in building previous demo with mind controlled drones are assembling both software and hardware side of our product. What’s left? Business Development, Marketing and Fundraising. Which means? I have to switch back to ENTP mode of actively participating in every possible event, networking on MAX. I used this mode to find a job in Malaysia back in the day and then land it at Amazon once I switched to ENTJ. INTJ is most comfy for me though, but I doubt someone randomly will give me money so have to switch to ENTP. 😂 Well, all for a company’s success I presume, cheers for that!

Amazing experience! As a former CTO, I can definitely confirm most of the biases.

I have seriously considered NeuroAds. Did not align with my values. But THIS is amazing regardless, can't wait to play around with it and use it for good. :)

@AIatMeta THIS IS AMAZING! Though concerning too.

Today we're introducing TRIBE v2 (Trimodal Brain Encoder), a foundation model trained to predict how the human brain responds to almost any sight or sound. Building on our Algonauts 2025 award-winning architecture, TRIBE v2 draws on 500+ hours of fMRI recordings from 700+ people to create a digital twin of neural activity and enable zero-shot predictions for new subjects, languages, and tasks.

Some early observations from our ongoing Neurofeedback research with the @AoraBCI device. Out of 50+ individuals who participated in our preliminary exploration, we recorded signals across Relaxation, Concentration, and Stress indices. A few patterns worth sharing: 1. Only 5 participants showed Stress readings above 90% for sustained periods (10+ minutes). This is a small, informal sample and not a clinical finding - but the group happened to include a medical student, law student, math student, an investor, and one participant who self-reported a prior BPD diagnosis. Notably, the latter participant appeared particularly adept at modulating her readings, which was fascinating to observe. 2. 2 of those 5 participants mentioned having a prior depression diagnosis. When we introduced breathing exercises and nature/family imagery, their Stress readings dipped slightly before returning to baseline. 3. An informal observation: 2 of the 5 high-Stress participants had noticeably less hand movement - though this is purely anecdotal and we draw no conclusions from it. 4. Participants 35+ tended to show stronger Relaxation signals in roughly 9 out of 10 cases, while younger participants showed a more mixed Stress/Concentration pattern - again, preliminary and not statistically validated. 5. Only 2 participants showed consistently strong Concentration signals; both happened to have a more alert, visually attentive demeanor. These are informal observations from an early exploratory phase - not clinical conclusions. Results varied widely and should not be interpreted as medical advice or diagnostic indicators. We're excited to keep learning as more people try @AoraBCI!

@I_am_major Let me check with our venue to have a small free style dance workout while wearing @AoraBCI ! :)

@_okdara_ When's Dara organizing dancing lessons? 😂😂

Been advised to dance from one of the practices, so here comes nothing! Gemini’s answer: Freestyle dancing is essentially a full-brain and full-body workout. Scientifically speaking, because it lacks a set choreography, it forces your brain and body to constantly adapt and create in real-time. This spontaneous movement triggers a cascade of unique physiological and neurological benefits.

@I_am_major @AoraBCI YASS!

@_okdara_ @AoraBCI You had a good time?

Women’s Health and Longivity Event + Wearables. Best event I attended so far in SF blending 2 of my favorite topics: Medicine + Startups. So many insights for @AoraBCI ‘s future too!

I’m so done with investors hitting on you. Why as a female entrepreneur I have to go through this omg… For God’s sake, let’s not waste each other’s time, my heart belongs to @AoraBCI and that’s it. I don’t date when it’s work relationship, ESPECIALLY if it’s investor-founder. EOM.

I’m in love with medical consilium I’m putting together for @AoraBCI This is coming from a Psychaitrist perspective. Interesting that lowered self-confidence comes later during depression, that’s what happened to me too. I didn’t catch it earlier being badass self first and then gaslighted to a point to believe that I’m nothing. Very interesting!

Van Gogh did this to himself when he was at his edge when it comes to his mental condition, but damn he was talented. We, at @AoraBCI want to support such talents without them doing this or even worse outcomes out of their genius minds… I’m fully dedicated to help as many as we can.

Random videos you generate for @AoraBCI haha
