March's topic focused on brain-computer interfaces. Brain-computer interfaces might be implanted or external and can read signals, translate them, or both. They offer real promise in treating and diagnosing neurological disorders or in converting thought to speech. But they also have raised ethical concerns, and so can be a contentious topic. As these intriguing interfaces enter clinical testing, how should the public think about brain interfaces? Our expert panel provides an insightful overview about this growing field.
The Dana Discovery Dialogues series is held in partnership with Boston University College of Communications.
