We will examine the core principles of BCI, from non-invasive systems like EEG that read brainwaves from the scalp to highly precise, surgically implanted electrodes. You will learn how these interfaces translate thoughts into commands, allowing individuals with paralysis to control prosthetic limbs, communicate, and interact with the world in ways previously confined to science fiction.
Beyond medical restoration, we will also confront the profound ethical questions and future possibilities of this technology. Could BCIs enhance memory, accelerate learning, or even enable new forms of communication?
Target Audience:
This highly-interactive virtual lecture is designed for a broad audience and requires no prerequisite knowledge. It is especially relevant for students and professionals in neuroscience, medicine, engineering, computer science, and philosophy. It will also appeal to anyone in the general public with a curiosity for groundbreaking technology, medical advancements, and the future of the human experience.
