×In this ninth episode of our series on brain-computer interfaces, we are joined by Stephen Rainey . Dr. Rainey is Assistant Professor in Philosophy and Technology at Delft University of Technology, specializing in neuroethics and neurophilosophy. He is the author of the 2023 book Philosophical Perspectives on Brain Data , which raises and addresses questions about how neurotechnologies can and ought to be used. His current research focuses on exploring the intersections between neurotechnologies and artificial intelligence, especially Large Language Models and the prospect of mind-reading technology. Dr. Rainey applies his research findings in the form of policy advice, working with committees of the European Commission and the WHO. In this episode, we discuss several aspects of Dr. Rainey’s work, including what brain data is and how it differs from other types of personal data, the distinction between mind reading and neural decoding , neuromarketing and neurocapitalism, science fiction prototyping , the possibility and risks associated with the use of neurotechnology in the criminal justice system, and the debate surrounding neurorights.…

In this sixth episode of our series on brain-computer interfaces, we are joined by Frederic Gilbert . Dr. Gilbert is an Associate Professor in Ethics and the Head of the Discipline for Philosophy at the University of Tasmania. His research focuses on the ethics of novel implantable brain-computer interfaces operated by Artificial Intelligence (AI). Dr. Gilbert is a pioneer in various aspects of human-computer interaction, particularly the effects of AI on an individual's sense of control, autonomy, agency, and self, including during treatment for neurological and psychiatric conditions such as dementia, epilepsy, severe depression, Parkinson's disease, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. In this episode, we discuss several aspects of Dr. Gilbert’s wide-ranging work, focusing on deep brain stimulation (DBS). We talk about the phenomenological effects of DBS on the user’s sense of agency and autonomy, psychiatric versus neurological use cases of DBS, the BCI companies Neuralink and Synchron, neurorights , informed consent for having a brain-computer interface (BCI) explanted (as opposed to implanted) , the burden of abnormality , deteriorative versus restorative estrangement following DBS, predictive neurotechnology , the media and academic hype surrounding mind-reading in neurotechnology , among other topics.…

In this fourth episode of the series, we are joined by José del R. Millán . Dr. Millán is a professor at the University of Texas at Austin, where he runs the Clinical Neuroprosthetics and Brain Interaction Lab and holds the Linda Steen Norris & Lee Norris Endowed Chair in Neuroengineering in the Chandra Family Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He is also a professor in the Department of Neurology at Dell Medical School, co-director of the UT CARE Initiative and associate director of Texas Robotics . Dr. Millán has made several seminal contributions to the field of brain-machine interfaces (BMI), especially non invasive EEG-based BCIs. Many of his achievements revolve around the design of brain-controlled robots. While his work prioritizes the translation of BMI to people who live with motor and cognitive disabilities, he is also designing BMI technology to offer new interaction modalities for able-bodied people that augment their abilities. In this episode, we discuss various elements of Dr. Millán’s work, including neuroplasticity and brain signaling as a skill , noninvasive EEG-based mobile robots , VR-based neurorehabilitation , BCI-controlled wheelchairs and exoskeletons , telerobotic surgery , enhancing human driving capabilities with BCI technology , the importance of 'shared control' between human and machine , integrating AI and machine learning with brain-computer interfaces, and the evolution of non-invasive BCIs towards sleeker, more user-friendly designs.…
