ButterflyFX Labs is the part of our business where all Neuroscience work happens. We are working on technology that allows people to learn faster.
We rely on peer reviewed research published in top scientific journals' (e.g. Cell, Nature, Science etc.). Anything less would be uncivilized and could be pseudoscience.
Our Work: Help People Recovering From Stroke (e.g. "learn to talk again") hopefully a little bit faster using our application of technology of modern neuroscience. Similarly, the techniques we are pioneering would also benefit those learning to walk with a prosthetic.
Terrod & Steve's Ancestral Home...
As Intern & Associate Of Marty Rodgers...
Steve & Terrod now carry torches he lit
& follow pathways he inspired.
Terrod's first-ever CEO, Julie Sweet also especially impacted him by approving Accenture to team up with the Cristo Rey Inner City School Network, the internship program that gave Terrod his first real break in business.
And Accenture's creative genius and ethics exemplar, Paul Daugherty, rounds-out our Accenture hero list...for now. But if you wanted to see the other candidates/honorable mentions that impacted us over the years, here they are.
Accenture is where Steve immersed himself in the world of "full-scope resilience" and the associated cybersecurity, data science and critical infrastructure cultures that he & Terrod have purposefully applied to ButterflyFX Labs. The talk linked below was delivered prior to Steve retiring from Accenture, but conveys the key points of Steve's work on Full Scope Resilience.
Baltimore-based Buddies Breaking Boringly Belabored Business...patterns.
Click Here to Hear...Terrod's Personal Intro & Expression Of His Deeply-Learned Insight.
Terrod's unique growth trajectory is the central organizing case study of the Company...for him to be mentored by our members' CEOs and their most talented associates.
So he can be the best mentor possible for the next generation as he steps into his own as the the Director of Mentorship Programs, massively multiplying his own mentors' impact.
And in our company, that is his exact job...to mentor students at Cristo Rey Schools on-line, coordinating their opportunities to also get exposure to professionals in our members' organizations.
The Berkeley Springs, WV Valley...where the worlds finest Silica in mined by one of the worlds greatest mining neighbors, US Silica. They are the largest employer in Berkeley Springs and have always been great neighbors to the town.
And the Silica from here is used to build products across the country, including in high-technology. But the ability of this region to impact the world transcends even this contribution.
Technology can be born here in an even more meaningful way. Our members work is among the next generation of candidates for technological breakthroughs.
The Video above highlights some people we especially appreciate & think are extra-cool...but there's so many others that have inspired or helped us over the years at Accenture and in all our life's travels.
Click the button below to see a one of kind list of so many of them (summarizing why we're grateful/honorably mentioning them).
At 10, Professor Kilian announced his work to the world in the video linked below.
He was 100% self-taught (based on the stellar Youtube channel 3 Blue One Brown...aka 3B1B).
He is also a special project of the members...with his top math mentor being Dr. Tony Johnson of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab, one of the foremost mathematicians anywhere in the world.
Dr. Tony is also directly associated with Terrod's Mentorship program (watching-over Terrod to help him best help the Cristo Rey high-schoolers).
Kilian and Terrod are brothers in this journey.
History revisited and relevant for our future...
A revival of the original Macy Meetings, the trans-disciplinary conversations at the founding of Cybernetics in the 1940s and 1950s, redefined for the 21st century to include trans-global and trans-generational participation.
Cybernetics is the formal branch of Science that we adhere to, Cybernetics (focused on biological learning through neuroplasticity), coupled with a phenomenological research philosophy and a dash of our own special focus on performance art.
Terrod's original vision...delivered with our beloved associates at The Cristo Rey Network of Schools.
Terrod's Original vision was to "Help the kids coming-up behind" him. So for three years, He & Steve worked out how to structure a business model that would allow us to help as many kids at Cristo-Rey as possible.
Ultimately, we designed and launched this Co-Op, where we mutually support each other in our businesses, neuroscience tech development (Butterfly FX Labs) goals, and most importantly, we also include Terrod's High Schooler Mentees where appropriate, to help Butterfly Effect Their Lives.
The three primary categories into which we group all learning are Ideas, Information & Skill.
Terrod set his mind (over the past 3 years) to learning a BIG IDEA: "I can be a successful like Mr. Marty".
Kilian set his mind to learning Information: Math...very high-level math & stuff (Click below & see "Kilian's Whiteboard" etc here).
And Steve set his sight on learning a completely unfamiliar skill: Photography...with the results being almost every picture on this website...so you can judge for yourself if he's learned how to take less lousy (preferably pretty) pictures. Just click below and see the Image Gallery of Steve's Nature Photography Skill-Learning Experiment.
