Consciousness is a terrible curse. Or so says a character in screenwriter/director Charlie Kaufman’s Being John Malkovich. Part theater of the absurd and part neuroscience fiction, the Oscar-winning filmmaker’s work captures the splintering between what we perceive and what we feel as our brains grapple with multiple layers of reality. Neuroscientist Giulio Tononi, one of the world’s leading sleep researchers, casts new light on the science of the mind, probing where and how consciousness is generated in the brain. Watch this spellbinding conversation between Kaufman, Tononi, and moderator Alan Alda as they explore and explain the art, science, and mystery of consciousness.

Bye bye, AR headsets?Mojo Vision, a California-based company that wants to make augmented reality (AR) capable smart contact lenses, has already conducted the first human trial of its technology. Last week, the company’s CEO Drew Perkins became the first person to use the contact lenses and shared his experience in a blog post.
Mojo Vision’s device design includes many firsts and now the prototype is good enough to be trialed. Is the future already here?

Sam Bankman-Fried recently hit the news when he was featured in Washington Post, vowing to give away millions worth of BTC, although he admits this is about wooing regulators and onboarding people to FTX.
Research suggests platform designs make us lose track of time spent on them and can heighten conflicts, and then we feel upset with ourselves.
