What will be some of the biggest developments in neuroscience over the next 10-15 years? Will we still have total control over our own decisions? What are the most important or inspiring developments at the intersection of neuroscience and engineering?

In this week’s episode of A Glimpse into the Future, we talk to Michael Platt, Professor of Neuroscience at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania; Nitish Thakor, Director of the Singapore Institute for Neurotechnology, National University of Singapore; and Neal Kassell, Chairman of the Focused Ultrasound Foundation.

All three are also members of the World Economic Forum’s Council on the Future of Neurotechnologies and Brain Science.
