Mind over Matter webinar

Long Live Learning 1,5 hrs Annemeike Tan

Even after your studies, you will never stop learning. Our lecturers are happy to give you tips on how to deepen your knowledge. Lisa Rombout, PhD student Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence, recommends the webinar 'Mind over Matter', in which she acted as moderator. This webinar is about brain and articifical intelligence.

As humans, we are gifted with an extraordinary brain, capable of processing massive quantities of information. It is perhaps the finest piece of biological technology in existence. Beyond its seemingly limitless imagination, our brain is also capable of steering and commanding our body. What happens when technology allows us to link that brain to a computer? Can we enhance the powers of our brain, body, or even both? Would we be able to project anything we can imagine into a world of Virtual or Augmented Reality?

In this webinar "Mind over Matter" experts shed light on this issue.

Speaking:

Dr. Maryam Alimardani, Assistant Professor Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence (Tilburg School of Humanities and Digital Sciences)
Dr. Nathan Wildman, Assistant Professor Philosophy (Tilburg School of Humanities and Digital Sciences)
Faviola Brugger Dadis, PhD candidate in Clinical Neuropsychology (Faculty of Behavioural and Movement Sciences of VU University), and CEO of NeuroReality B.V.
Lisa Rombout (moderator), PhD candidate Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence (Tilburg School of Humanities and Digital Sciences)

The webinar was organized by Studium Generale in collaboration with study association Flow.

"Our brains are the portal through which we access reality, essential to human life. With new technologies, we are increasingly capable of connecting and exposing our brain to the outside world. Should this excite or horrify us?"
