Today is World Suicide Prevention. Motif stands with our community today to shine a light on suicide and because the silence and stigma in our society only increases the danger of this disease💡.

Let's change the narrative so we can get well and stay well, together 🫂.

@jacobrobinson.bsky.social explores the history and future of regulating our biology with technology on the MARS stage.

Motif Neurotech @motifneuro.bsky.social · Aug 1

How can we usher in an era where technological interfacing with our brains is as commonplace and successful as pacemakers are used in our hearts? What are the roadblocks in our way?

Motif Neurotech @motifneuro.bsky.social · Aug 1

As we continue advancing into a technology-enhanced future, can we create and then accept novel technologies that do a better job?

We all want to regulate our brain activity. Quite often we utilize substances and activities to try and achieve this even if they don't work very well or have negative side effects. We turn to antiquated solutions because they are safe and familiar 🧵

It’s a long road for someone suffering from severe mental illness. Antidepressants, TMS sessions at a clinic, ketamine, ECT. A plethora of antiquated options that leave patients still searching for relief. “How is this real?”
