Here’s an experimental project I’m involved in: a prospective web-based video series<\/a> in which I talk to groups of people about exciting science topics. All very new and untested, but did one recording session, and would love to get feedback.<\/p>\n

The topic we tackled was neuroscience, and in particular the idea of brain-machine interfaces. I had three guests, all of whom (unlike me) know something about the field. There was Philip Low<\/a>, a computational neuroscientist and Founder\/CEO of Neurovigil; Crystal Dilworth<\/a>, a molecular neuroscientist and PhD student at Caltech; and Ricardo Gil da Costa<\/a>, a cognitive neuroscientist at the Salk Institute. My job was to ask non-expert questions, which shouldn’t have been that hard since I am a complete non-expert.<\/p>\n

This is the “main” part of the show, in which we talk about how brains can interface with machines.<\/p>\n
