Controlling the Brain with Light (Karl Deisseroth, Stanford University)


Title:
Controlling the Brain with Light (Karl Deisseroth, Stanford University)

Description:
Karl Deisseroth is pioneering bold new treatments for depression and other psychiatric diseases. By sending pulses of light into the brain, Deisseroth can control neural activity with remarkable precision. In this short talk, Deisseroth gives an thoughtful and awe-inspiring overview of his Stanford University lab's groundbreaking research in "optogenetics".

Demonstration of Brain Computer Interface Using the Emotive Epoc
April 9, 2008 lecture by Randy Breen for the Stanford University Computer Systems Colloquium (EE380). The Emotiv EPOC (www.emotiv.com) now makes it possible for games to be controlled and influenced by the player's mind. Engaging, immersive, and nuanced, Emotiv-inspired game-play will be like nothing ever seen before. Based on the latest developments in neuro-technology, Emotiv has developed a new personal interface for human computer interaction. EE380 | Computer Systems Colloquium: www ...

Brain-Computer Interfaces (Krishna Shenoy, Stanford University)
Krishna Shenoy is creating "brain-computer interfaces" that will enable paralyzed patients to control prosthetic arms and computer cursors. In this short talk, Shenoy describes how his team of Stanford researchers has built a system that achieves typing at 15 words-per-minute, just by "thinking about it".

Masterminds - The Riviera Job (1 of 3)
In 1976, the Societe General Bank on the French Riviera contained more gold, money and gems than the top ten banks in Paris combined. This bank was impregnable; its vault lay two stories underground with four foot walls of reinforced concrete. No criminal would dare attempt the job, until Albert Spaggiari came to town and pulled of the greatest heist in European history.

Googling the Brain on a Chip (Kwabena Boahen, Stanford University)
Kwabena Boahen is using the human brain as the blueprint for designing radically more powerful and energy-efficient computers. In this short demo, Boahen describes how his Brains in Silicon lab at Stanford University has created computer chips with "synapses" and "neurons" -- and how these chips might revolutionize computing.
