Brain Engineering
Bangladesh is the most densely populated country in the world. In per square KM area there are 1095 peoples are living that means in per square KM area we have the highest number of brain. In other way, Bangladesh is the highly brain dens country in the world. We have 170 millions fertile brains. By number we have plenty of brain. But we don’t have much idea by which we can get the maximum benefit out of that. Even the world also has very little idea about the possibilities and potentialities of human brain. The truth is, human brain is not explored much yet.
The nations around the world are making unprecedented investments in brain research. The past few years we have witnessed a global awareness of the importance of brain research, as exemplified by large brain projects initiated in Europe, U.S., Japan, China, Australia, Hong Kong, India etc. Moreover, Bangladesh should also devote resources and research capabilities to address immediate societal needs. In the new era of big data, brain-inspired computing methods and systems are essential to achieve stronger artificial intelligence (AI) and to harness the ever-increasing amount of information.

Neuromarketing
The combination of neuroplasticity over marketing, consumer behavior, and marketing strategy. Neuromarketing can be a way to implement Blue Ocean Strategy (BOS) in business. It is a commercial marketing communication field that applies neuropsychology to marketing research, studying consumers’ sensorimotor, cognitive, and affective response to marketing stimuli. The coming up marketing thought will be rolling with technology like BCI, BMI, Neuromorphic Computing and DBS that may change the present management process.
Workshop on Neuromarketing at ACI
Neuromanagement
In all form of management studies we concentrate our study towards “human” as a gross. Present days people wants to focus more on specialization and core. Present days for management studies people want to focus on brain; and in coming days this focus will be shifted towards “Neuron” based study. Neuromanagement uses cognitive neuroscience, among other life science fields, and technology to analyze economic and managerial issues. It focuses on exploring human brain activities and mental processes when people are faced with typical problems of economics and management in their professional life.
