Milena Korostenskaja, Ph.D. is Founder and Director of The Institute of Neuroapproaches. She leads Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) program at AdventHealth Orlando and teaches in Associate Professor capacity at Vilnius University as well as serves as a Part-time Faculty at the University of North Florida and AdventHealth University. She received her Ph.D. in Psychology (Behavioral Sciences) from Helsinki University and completed her post-doctoral fellowship in neurophysiological research at the Department of Neurology, Cincinnati Children Hospital Medical Center, where she later received her first Faculty position as an Assistant Professor. Her recent work focuses on finding biomarkers for neurological and mental disorders by using brain imaging techniques and developing effective treatment and rehabilitation approaches to alleviate the burden associated with these disorders by using BCIs. Currently, she is the principal investigator on several projects, including the project that aims to restore motor function in patients post-stroke by using BCIs, as well as to prevent post-surgical morbidity in patients undergoing brain surgery by using adaptive neurotechnologies.

Speaker Biography



Mr. Heinz started his IT career as a research mathematician for the National Security Agency (NSA) in 1980. In 1985, Mr. Heinz designed and programed an “intelligent signal demodulator” referencing Mercer’s theorem and implementing the Karhunen-Loveve expansion in a primitive imperative programming language created by the NSA. Mr. Heinz did not realize that he was doing “machine
learning.” In 1985, Mr. Heinz also created a software library for an implementation of the Karhunen-Loveve expansion, but now, since 2018, there are numerous implementations of the Karhunen-Loeveve expansion available (for example, from mathworks.com’s matlib). In 1991, Mr. Heinz received his Master’s Degree from McDaniel College in Westminster, Maryland. In 2010, Mr. Heinz saw the value in rapidly creating data planes from license-free, open-source components. As time progressed these components became more powerful and were joined by other components to augment the CI/CD of these data planes as micro services. As of 2020, Mr. Heinz is now the CEO of DFHEINZ, LLC, DUGtalks Global, and the nonprofit organization called Veterans in Artificial Intelligence.
