Synopsis
Olivia Amita suffers from epilepsy, experiencing seizures every two weeks. To locate the source of her seizures, Dr. Casey Halpern implants 14 electrodes in her brain. This process allows the team to send electrical currents and map her brain's functions. As Dr. Halpern investigates the connections between different areas, he discusses the potential applications of neurotechnology for enhancing human behavior. Concerns about ethical implications and military uses of brain-computer interfaces are also addressed.
