    Imagine being able to search the internet, create digital art, and operate a robotic arm – with just your thoughts. Long considered sci-fi lore, these abilities are now a reality thanks to implantable brain computer interfaces (BCIs).

    In this conversation/live demo, explore how these devices might change the future of embodiment, movement, communication, creativity, and quality of life for people living with disabilities.
