Instant Genius<\/em> is a bite-sized masterclass in podcast form. In this episode, we\u2019re joined by Tom Carlson<\/a>, professor of assistive robotics at University College London, to explore the rapidly expanding world of brain-machine interfaces.<\/p>\n

Controlling machines with brain waves sounds like something ripped from a science-fiction book, and yet this is something happening today. It\u2019s a technology that can utilise signals from the brain to power wheelchairs, robot arms and a host of other assisted tech.<\/p>\n\n<p>Find\u00a0<em>Instant Genius<\/em>\u00a0on your preferred podcast platform here:\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/instantgenius.podlink.to\/Podcast"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">instantgenius.podlink.to\/Podcast<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Listen to more episodes of Instant Genius:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul><li><a href=\""https:\/\/www.sciencefocus.com\/the-human-body\/instant-genius-podcast-vitamin-d\/"\">Instant Genius Podcast: Vitamin D, with Dr Gail Rees<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\""https:\/\/www.sciencefocus.com\/nature\/instant-genius-podcast-bird-flu\/"\">Bird Flu, with Dr Alastair Ward<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\""https:\/\/www.sciencefocus.com\/space\/instant-genius-mars-opposition-astronomy\/"\">Mars in opposition, with Dr Stu Clark<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.sciencefocus.com\/the-human-body\/genetic-testing-peter-donnelly-instant-genius-podcast\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">Genetic testing, with Sir Peter Donnelly<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/\/www.sciencefocus.com\/nature\/instant-genius-podcast-robins-with-helen-wilson\/"\" target=\""_blank"\" rel=\""noopener" noopener noreferrer\">Robins, with Helen Wilson<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\""https:\/\/www.sciencefocus.com\/future-technology\/instant-genius-podcast-the-e-waste-dilemma-with-josh-lepawsky\/"\">The e-waste dilemma, with Josh Lepawsky<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul> <\/body><\/html>\n<hr class=\"no-tts wp-block-separator\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Alex Hughes Published: Friday, 16 December 2022 at 12:00 am Instant Genius is a bite-sized masterclass in podcast form.
