Mary Lou Jepsen: Could future devices read images from our brains

As an expert on cuttingedge digital displays, Mary Lou Jepsen studies how to show our most creative ideas on screens. And as a brain surgery patient herself, she is driven to know more about the neural activity that underlies invention, creativity, thought. She meshes these two passions in a rather mindblowing talk on two cuttingedge brain studies that might point to a new frontier in understanding how (and what) we think.
