Living in Nature and Brain Health – Ty McKinney

Ty completed his Ph.D. at the University of Utah on brainwave technology in mental health assessment. Ty co-founded 8-Bit Cortex to adapt his research into gamifying corporate burnout risk assessments and improve workplace wellness for everyone. As the Research Director for Branch Out, Ty promotes the impact of innovative brain health research and shares this insight with the community. When not thinking about the brain, Ty can be found exploring nature or connecting with the growing Alberta tech ecosystem.
