Brainfluence

Today, Jeffrey Battin, Eric Nyberg, Ph.D., and Sanjay Chopra  are here to discuss their exciting new project and the possible applications. We talk about the ways that most companies are interacting currently with their consumers: where they go wrong and how the Cognistx has the potential to change everything.

Eric Nyberg was part of CMU's partnership with IBM in developing Watson, the artificial intelligence system that beat human competitors in the Jeopardy Challenge. Eric's insights are a key part of creating a smarter customer experience on ecommerce sites.
