UppTalk Weekly: Brain computer interface – where are we today? Can we see what you think?

UppTalk Weekly with Lars Oestreicher

Listen to Lars Oestreicher, Associate Professor at Vi3, talk about Brain-computer interfaces that have been developing rapidly.
Brain computer interface – where are we today? Can we see what you think?But what is the reality behind these promises, and what do we really want to happen in the future of this research? What could happen if we could really see what You think?

UppTalk Weekly is a popular science seminar series via Zoom where you get to enjoy interesting conversations and interdisciplinary panel discussions with researchers from Uppsala University every Tuesday at lunch.

Ingela Nyström

Ingela Nyström


Ingela Nyström is a professor of visualization. Her research concerns mathematics and information technology meeting the medicine. Thanks to her research, in the future, surgeons will be able to perform the surgery on the computer before they open the patient. On scanned three-dimensional images of the injured patients, models are made in the computer that give the surgeon better control over how the injury actually looks. What before was invisible under the skin is made visible.
"We make the invisible visible" - Interview with Ingela Nyström

Anders Arweström Jansson

Research in human-computer interaction is about how to make people and technology work together. Anders Arweström Jansson, Professor of Human-Computer Interaction at the Department of Information Technology in Uppsala, wants us to develop computer systems so that those who work with different types of traffic or in the process industry have the right computer support when doing their jobs. One challenge is to get technological development and knowledge about how people work to go hand in hand. In order to develop technical systems, one has to understand the role of human beings in the systems and the role of human beings is underestimated.

Åsa Cajander

Åsa Cajander

Åsa Cajander is a researcher in human-computer interaction and maintains that the architects of IT systems need to become better at taking into account the interaction between technology and society.

Carolina Wählby

How do various drugs affect cells? What genetic alternations are hidden in the tissue of tumours? Using new image processing methods, researchers are able to analyse large amounts of samples faster and more efficiently than ever before. One of the most advanced tools in image analysis is built on the research of Carolina Wählby, Professor of Quantitative Microscopy.
