Enter the Interface / 24.4.2015

Could neurophysiological and BCI tools already control human mind? And could we vice versa build already an individual virtual realities using BCI systems, which can fulfill all humans’ desires?
Can furthermore artistic project question the essence of human mind? And what exactly the humans actually desire?
Those will be the frame questions of our Friday 25th micro-symposium with dr. Aleksander Väljamäe (NGM lab), Pavel Smetana (CIANT) and artist Ivor Diosi.
Besides their ongoing and future projects, they will also present wider context of brain-computer interaction research and artistic use in arts, politics, society and mind development.

Thanks to attendance of Mr.Diosi (CYNETART Award 2014), we can broaden the scope of the discussion far beyond only BCI systems to anthropological conditioning…
