"Father of the Cyborgs"

"Father of the Cyborgs" at Atlanta Science Festival

"Father of the Cyborgs" tells the story of a neurologist in the late 1990s whose relentless effort to unlock speech for locked-in patients nearly incapacitated him when he decided to have his own brain implanted. As part of the Atlanta Science Festival, come watch the documentary and then discuss brain-computer interfaces, mental privacy, and the future of neurotechnology with Atlanta thought leaders in neurotechnology and neuroethics.
