Malcolm Slaney (Google) on decoding pitch, rhythmic, imagined, and surprise signals from the brain
Date:
Fri, 10/05/2018 - 10:30am - 12:00pm
Location:
Seminar Room at the Knoll
Event Type:
Hearing Seminar 
I want to discuss the experiments and results from the Auditory Group at the Telluride Neuromorphic Engineering Cognition Workshop. For many years we have been doing experiments to decode the state of the brain from EEG signals. We’ve been wildly successful at decoding auditory attention, but discovering signals related to expectations, pitch and imagined sounds is harder. This year we succeeded.

What Decoding pitch, rhythmic, imagined, and surprise signals from the brain
When: Fri, 10/05/2018 - 10:30am - 12:00pm
Where: Seminar Room at the Knoll
Why: We want to know how the brain processes more ecological signals

Technology that Knows What You're Feeling: TED2018 Talk Featuring Dr. Poppy Crum
Very interesting talk by Poppy Crum:
What happens when technology knows more about us than we do? Poppy Crum studies how we express emotions -- and she suggests the end of the poker face is near, as new tech makes it easy to see the signals that give away how we're feeling. In a talk and demo, she shows how "empathetic technology" can read physical signals like body temperature and the chemical composition of our breath to inform on our emotional state. For better or for worse. "If we recognize the power of becoming technological empaths, we get this opportunity where technology can help us bridge the emotional and cognitive divide," Crum says.
