The Challenges of Brain-Computer Interfacing
27:04 - 42:30 (15:25)
This podcast discusses the challenges of brain computer interfacing and the potential future technology of having direct contact with the brain to measure signals and understand brain functionality. The goal is to be able to understand the brain better through communication both ways, but there are many obstacles to overcome in this field.

Summary
The challenge in brain computer interfacing lies in controlling a highly structured and non-linear system that is relevant to our lives and rests upon non-equilibrium dynamics, similar to weather patterns or active matter. The plastic potential of the brain allows it to remodel and augment sensory data, and the free energy principle plays a role in understanding its function in terms of inference.
