"“We had everyone from experienced computer scientists to people who had never coded before taking part,” says Eden Redman, Executive Director of NeurAlbertaTech. "

Excerpts from the following article 

“It looks like it’s going to be Canada’s biggest BCI hackathon on record,” NeurAlbertaTech executive director Eden Redman told Taproot.

Excerpts from the following article 

"The Faculty of Science grad, who is completing an after-degree in fine art and design, is a co-founder and executive director of NeurAlbertaTech (NAT), a U of A student group-turned-non-profit organization that supports a community of neurotech enthusiasts looking for ways to make technology interact with the brain."

Excerpts from the following article 

"Eden Redman, who also graduated with a bachelors in psychology in 2018, won the Student Entrepreneur of the Year Award. The award recognizes students for aspects including perseverance, their ability to achieve key startup milestones such as raising capital, and their business’s potential."

Excerpts from the following article 

"Being an innovator means putting yourself and others in uncomfortable situations. For example, putting people in a room together who don’t have a common language, like artists and engineers, or neuro students with business students. No one likes to be uncomfortable, so with a little bit of structured discussion or co-working, spontaneous innovations in those situations are plentiful."

Excerpts from the following article 

"Eden Redman is the Co-founder, President, and now Executive Director of NeurAlbertaTech—a U of A neurotech student group turned non-profit organization. Under his leadership, NeurAlbertaTech is quickly establishing itself as Alberta’s premier neurotechnology innovator network through accessible hands-on skill development and commercialization support for student-led projects. Since the beginning of the COVID pandemic, Eden has incorporated an additional for-profit organization, through which he works to deliver live brain-generated art experiences in virtual reality. Last but not least, he is the CTO of 8 Bit Cortex, which works to gamify mental health assessments. An after-degree student himself, his actions have directly led to the creation of 5 full-time summer jobs for current students."

Excerpts from the following article 

"Eden believes that diversity in STEM means to have a diversity of ideas, which is rooted in a variety of backgrounds, cultural ethnicities, and languages. Socioeconomic status  is especially important to tackle since it “underlies a lot of discriminatory policy and majorly overlaps with other demographics.” To combat such policies, he and his team have worked with sponsors to offer workshop subsidies to those in financial need. Furthermore, NAT is “really looking forward to working with their incoming WISEST summer student in the coming weeks”."

Excerpts from the following article 

"Called RemBRAINdt, the program uses a 3D-printed headset and electroencephalography (EEG) to record a user’s brain activity through their skull, explained Eden Redman, the president of NeurAlbertaTech and team lead on the project."

"Our goal is to give the user some ways to constrain how that art is generated, so we have some predefined ways in which we break down brain activity and we allow the use to associate features of brain activity with art features," said Redman.

"The group’s flagship project in 2020 was RemBRAINdt, which began as a summer project via remote work with a group of six students. The program works by having a user complete a task that elicits emotional responses while the program records their brain signals by a electroencephalogram (EEG) headset. The program then uses deep learning techniques to make associations between brain activity and emotional state."
