Wearable tech is so commonplace now that we barely notice how our phones keep up with our heart rate, our sleep patterns, our food intake and more. But implanted neurotechnology might have even more benefits. On this episode, Daniel sits down with Taryn Southern, a VR and technology expert and the first person to create a solo pop album by collaborating with an AI program. She explains the benefits of neurotech in health and medicine – such as ameliorating the side effects of diseases, restoring mobility to paraplegics, or alleviating depression and anxiety – as well as in arts and music. What makes people uncomfortable with implanted technology? How could that tech be applied in the future? And most importantly, will that tech truly enhance human beings, or detract from what makes us human in the first place?
