Dissecting the brain - live at the World Science Festival Brisbane

The brain might be an undiscerning blob that makes up just two per cent of your body, but what it does for you is extraordinary. How much about the day-to-day workings of the brain do we fully understand, and what does the future of medicine have in store for it? In this recording of our live show from the World Science Festival Brisbane, we explore the wonder of brain surgery, advances in neurotech, and whether we could one day preserve consciousness and ‘live’ forever.

Could AI keep you company as you age?

Dementia usually involves a decline in your ability to remember, think and reason over time. And those with dementia are at a high risk of feeling socially isolated, lonely and depressed. As artificial intelligence systems get better and better, researchers are investigating whether AI companion bots could help improve the lives of those with dementia. The combination might sound counterintuitive, but researchers reckon these chatbots have some advantages over human companionship. So, what does a conversation with an AI companion sound like? How might they help? And what do the real people these AI companions are based on think of the experience? Today, former host of All in the Mind Lynne Malcolm reports on the developing field of AI companions for people with dementia. If you're looking for something to listen to next, check out our episode with Lynne What's been on Lynne Malcolm's mind (since leaving All in the Mind).

A fantastic treatment (pun intended) of the psychological. Unfortunately, the background noises on some episodes knocks you down to the stars.
