Technology and the Brain, with Gabriel Axel Montes, Ph.D. | EDB 274

Gabriel Axel Montes, Ph.D. shares his work maximizing the brain’s potential through technology. Gabriel Axel Montes, Ph.D., is a neuroscientist, consciousness educator, leadership coach, and facilitator of personal and organizational development and transformation. Drawing from over a decade of neuroscience and consciousness research and experience as a facilitator, Gabriel taps latent human capability to optimize processes and unlock value from existing resources and human capital. He works to address today’s global complexities and risks through the application of practicable neuroscience- and psychology-informed models and tools that elucidate the subtle habitual patterns at the root of inefficiencies. In his work, Gabriel promotes and teaches meta-learning—the capacity of “learning to learn”, adapt, grow, change, and collaborate— to maximize human capability during organizational change. Gabriel helps organizations synergize the relationship between human capital and technology implementation during digital transformation. He has worked with SingularityNET, the world’s premiere decentralized Artificial [General] Intelligence (AGI) organization, first by managing the initial $36 million fundraise as part of the launch team, and more recently he served as Head of People, leading a doubling of people count during a rapid growth phase and facilitating organizational development, collaboration, and well-being among its staff. Gabriel has conducted research in various subfields of neuroscience and published seminal work on the crucial role of neuroscience and consciousness in the design and ethics of (AGI) and virtual and augmented reality technologies. Gabriel is bilingual (English & Spanish), an author, and an international speaker for diverse audiences on the intersection of consciousness, technology, and human culture, working and presenting at Harvard, Stanford, among various universities. Gabriel is a long-time mind-body/consciousness practitioner and instructor, eclectic experimental musician, and world traveler.
