I am in the era of self-awareness, self-exploration, and self-analysis. So, it made sense for me to try brain mapping — all for the good of me, of course. I have known neuroscientist Kumaar Bagrodia for a while, and decided to visit his initiative, NeuroLeap, which is India’s leading applied Neuroscience company leveraging Brain Computer Interface technology for better mental health and brain enhancement.

I reached NeuroLeap and was taken into a room with a TV screen, a work station for an operator, and a comfortable chair for me to sit on. I was told to relax as a wearable device, like a cap of sorts, was fit on my head. The brain-computer interface (BCI) is a collaboration between the brain and a device that enables signals from the brain to direct some external activity.
