Lab Member Tamara Bonaci talks with Geekwire about Brain-Computer Interfaces and Privacy

Geekwire

GeekWire talked to Tamara Bonaci and Howard Chizeck about Brain-Computer Interfaces and Privacy recently:

“The past couple of years have brought a series of revelations about the lack of privacy online — all the ways that companies and the government can use our activity on the Internet and mobile devices to collect and capitalize on personal details about our lives.

So what happens when we start hooking our brains up to these devices?

That’s our topic on the GeekWire radio show and podcast this week, and it’s the focus of our two guests, who are conducting research into the privacy implications of brain-computer interfaces. We’re joined in the studio by Howard Chizeck, professor of electrical engineering at the University of Washington, and UW graduate student Tamara Bonaci.”
