English version (AI Translated): When the mind controls technology | Mads Rovsing Jochumsen, S.7 E.3

In this fascinating episode from s.3 e.7, our host Bent Dalager is joined by Mads Rovsing Jochumsen, Associate Professor at Aalborg University and head of the EEG & Brain-Computer Interface Laboratory.

You’ll learn how it’s possible to control objects using the power of your mind, for example a robotic arm. You’ll also discover the difference between invasive and non-invasive BCIs meaning, whether electrodes are placed directly in the brain or worn externally like a “swim cap.” Finally, Bent asks Mads the big question: With the help of BCI, is it possible to read thoughts or control other people’s movements?

The episode's quirky recommendation:

Bent: The movie “Pacific Rim” and the book “Johnny Mnemonic” by William Gibson

Mads: The movie “Avatar”
