What is it like to live with a brain implant?
Integrating technology with the human brain is no longer the stuff of science fiction. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are transforming lives today, enabling direct communication between the brain and electronic devices. Though BCIs have opened new doors for medical treatment, accessibility, and human enhancement, what is it like to live with a brain implant — or to rely on one for daily life?
Join us for Wired Lives: Personal Stories of Brain-Computer Interfaces, a live storytelling event presented by The Story Collider. This unique event will feature true, personal stories from individuals who have experienced the profound impact of implantable BCIs. Prepare to be captivated by the real-life experiences of these individuals and their loved ones as they navigate the world with technology integrated directly into their brains. It's a chance to connect, learn, and be inspired by the stories that are shaping the future.
Event Details
This event is FREE and open to the public, offering a rare opportunity to hear firsthand accounts of how BCIs are changing lives. Our storytellers will share their journeys, challenges, and triumphs, providing a glimpse into the future of human-technology interaction.
