BU Research Blog

At Café Scientifique, you can explore the latest ideas in science and technology in a relaxed setting. Enjoy listening to a short talk before engaging in debate and discussion with our guest speaker and audience.

We’ll be joined by Dr Géza Gergely Ambrus on Tuesday 2 May from 6:30 – 8:00pm.

Mind-reading machines

Join us to discover the latest advances in neuroscience and the possibility of creating machines that can read human minds.

Dr Géza Gergely Ambrus will explore how machine learning algorithms could decode brain activity and reconstruct subjective experiences, and what this might mean for fields such as neuroprosthetics and brain-computer interfaces.

We will consider how this research could help us understand how humans think, but also raise important ethical questions about the potential use of such technologies to access our innermost thoughts and memories. This talk is suitable for anyone interested in neuroscience, artificial intelligence, or the ethics of technology.

This event will be held at The Black Cherry in Boscombe, Bournemouth. Although the talk starts at 6:30pm, the café will be open early so we encourage you to arrive early for a drink and a bite to eat before the talk starts.
