NEURO+TECH
NEURO+TECH—December 3, 2014
Over the past several years, we’ve made great strides in unlocking the mysteries of the human mind. Neuroscience is revealing new capacities of the brain. Researchers experimenting with direct brain stimulation and machines can help us interpret brainwaves and use this to interact with the world and with eachother. How is science changing our understandings of how humans work? How are leading edge individuals using this technology to augment themselves today? How do we use our new knowledge and capacities wisely?
