José Barrios
José Barrios is working with the world's top universities to design a new system to allow psychologists to collect, store, and study the human mind through crowdsourcing. Barrios says that by taking psychology experiments online and distributing them to crowdsourcing communities, we can potentially speed up the rate at which research is accomplished. He says we could then leverage this technology to create the biggest database on human behaviour ever built. José believes that we are at the brink of an emergent technology that will greatly accelerate our understanding of one of the biggest mysteries to our species: the human mind.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
