Afshin Mehin - Driving brain-machine interfaces

 

In EP51 we interviewed Afshin Mehin who is the founder of Card79 about brain-machine interfaces and the future of multi-modal interaction design.

He and his team recently had the chance to work on the Neuralink robot and beyond that experimented in many internal projects on the future of thought-based interfaces.

During the episode we jump into:

  • how to BCI (brain-machine-interfaces) work

  • what value do these interfaces provide

  • how do interactions with such interfaces work and why multi-modality is key

  • the evolution and future of interaction design

  • how to navigate the value of design in the fields of advanced technologies, science, and research

  • challenges when designing though-based interfaces

Thanks a lot for your time and for learning Afshin!
