Top Tech Voices Podcast S2 E3: Neuro-Tech and Brain Interfaces

JoRatcliffe

Episode Three of Top Tech Voices is here and it’s all about neuro-tech with Anil Seth - professor of Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience. 

Grab a coffee, tea, beverage of your choice, and watch/listen in on your preferred platform to a conversation exploring: 

  • Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) - the developments realistically around the corner, and what is just science fiction (for now, at least!) 
  • How to train your brain to improve your mindfulness and attention span 
  • The idea that perhaps everything we experience is a controlled hallucination…

  • This episode pretty much shows why folks get caught up in conspiracy theories without much trouble. If our minds are basically just making educated guesses all the time, then it makes sense that once we really believe something, our brains will just keep looking for things that confirm it.

    That dress thing, for example, the one I saw as blue and black, really showed how the same thing can look completely different to different people. So, think about news, social media, or even beliefs. Things can really get out of hand quickly in those situations.

    I also liked the meditation part; it felt like I was training my brain to stop guessing so much and just focus on what was right there. The BCI part was a little concerning, you know? What if machines start trying to figure out what our messy brain signals mean, and they guess wrong, but people believe what the machine says?

    Just a thought, maybe you could put that dress illusion in the post; it usually gets people talking.This didn't just explain things; it made me wonder about how much of what I think I know is actually true. I saw that how is it?
