“Theater of Thought” Exclusive Screening and Neuroethics DiscussionThrough the lens of legendary documentary filmmaker Werner Herzog, Theater of Thought takes audiences on a provocative journey into the study of the mind and consciousness. The film dares us to question whether we truly have control over our own thoughts, or if our brains will inevitably become connected with technology in the not-so-distant future. Gathering insight and predictions from some of the world’s most influential scientists and innovators, Theater of Thought is an exploration of the ethical issues and existential questions that arise with advances in brain science and neurotechnology. The film screening will start promptly at 6:00 pm and will be followed by a panel discussion featuring experts and members of the cast. Speakers:
