Description
Join us for an engaging panel discussion on Neurotechnology and the Future of Thoughts, featuring insights from four senior academics and entrepreneurs: Prof George Malliaras (Engineering), Prof Kathleen Liddell (Law), Dr Andrea Luppi (Psychiatry), and Ms Lucy Jung (LYEONS Neurotech).
Hosted by Dr Dervila Glynn (Cambridge Neuroscience Strategic Manager), this event will explore the translation of neural signals into text or visual representations using artificial intelligence, as well as the development of neuromodulation technologies. The panel will examine the opportunities and challenges presented by these emerging technologies given their potential to transform our understanding of the human mind and healthcare practice. It will also explore the ethical, legal, and societal questions that arise as neurotechnology advances, ranging from the privacy of our thoughts to the implications of directly interacting with brain activities.
Drinks and snacks will be provided after the panel discussion.
