Tech seminar | Brain-computer interfaces, transhumanism, and the coming age of cyborg human-machine identities
During this event, Eleunthia Wong Ellinger and Daniel Alestrand explained recent laws about brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) including "neurorights" aimed to protect neural data. They assessed both optimistic and pessimistic views of where BCI development is heading in the next decade. Finally, they connected these recent technological and entrepreneurial advancements to the concepts of the cyborg, transhumanism, and sociomateriality, exploring how the fusion of human and machine functions may reshape what we know about human identity.
