It has long been a dream of science fiction to enable us to do things just with our thought. We envision operating machinery, controlling robots, or communicating telepathically. Today's guest, Tom Deuel, took us one step closer to this future with his invention - the Encephalophone.

The Encephalophone is a brain-computer interface that enables its user to play music just by thinking about it. By analyzing brain activity via EEG in real time, the Encephalophone converts brainwaves to sound, creating melodies, rhythms, patterns, without the push of a single key.

The applications of Tom's brainchild, which started as an art project, are not just creative, but might help patients with aphasia or severe motor disabilities to retrain their brains and speed up their recovery.

In this episode, Gerry and Tom explore the conception of the encephalophone from dream to reality, its artistic and therapeutic potential, and what the future of this fascinating project looks like.
