Article by Charles Adjovu
IDEAS IN BRIEF
Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs)
  • Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are interfaces for recording and processing neurological data and turning these data into an output.
  • Neurodata can be directly recorded, e.g., by a BCI, or indirectly recorded, e.g., an individual’s spinal cord.
  • There are particular privacy risks associated with BCIs that might need the following solutions:
    1. Encryption
    2. Local-first software
    3. Separation of data and compute (or edge computing)
    4. Access control layer
    5. Data cooperative

The REAL reason the Unconscious holds you back

  • Behavioral Science, Emotion, Neurology, Neuroscience, UX Magazine
Article by Kaushik Ram
IDEAS IN BRIEF
The REAL reason the Unconscious holds you back
  • The unconscious is not made up of thought but dictate behaviours that happen automatically and these are behaviours you may not be aware of.
  • Some of the ways that we unconsciously deflect attention and prevent ourselves from being seen:
    • Humour
    • Sarcasm
    • Intellectualism
    • Perfectionism
    • Isolation
  • The unconscious exists because the brain is a metabolically expansive structure.
  • The Ego and two things that are inherently wrong with working with the ego:
    1. When you invent a desired ego in an attempt to hide your mistakes.
    2. It is not healthy to keep things smooth and under control.
  • The problem with reprogramming the unconscious mind is subjecting the unconscious to see a certain way ****— essentially fabricating a new ego.
