In the fifth episode of our second season of “TRUTH” with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Kennedy and Columbia University professor and neurobiologist Dr. Rafael Yuste had a fascinating back and forth regarding the rapidly changing landscape in the field of neurotechnology. The many cutting-edge topics discussed include:
• Dr. Yuste’s early research in trying to improve the mental state of schizophrenia patients
• Implanting images in mice brains to change mouse behavior
• The difference between invasive and non-invasive neurotechnology
• How misuse of this emerging technology can lead to tyrannical control of humans
• The “technocratic oath” that researchers in this field must take to ensure beneficence, justice, and respect towards patients
