As an expert on cutting-edge digital displays, Mary Lou Jepsen studies how to show our most creative ideas on screens. And as a brain surgery patient herself, she is driven to know more about the neural activity that underlies invention, creativity, thought. She meshes these two passions in a rather mind-blowing talk on two cutting-edge brain studies that might point to a new frontier in understanding how (and what) we think.

Mary Lou Jepsen: Could future devices read images from our brains?

Could future devices read images from our brains?

Inventor, entrepreneur, optical physicist

Imagining an image and seeing it creates nearly identical brain scans, underscoring the thin line between perception and thought.

Advancements in brain scanning could soon allow direct digital translation of thoughts, revolutionizing communication and creativity.

Exploring brain scans to decode thoughts could revolutionize communication, bypassing language for direct idea transfer.
