Gathering insight and predictions from some of the world’s most influential scientists and innovators, Theater of Thought is an exploration of the ethical, and existential, effects that neurotechnology presents in our rapidly advancing world.The Neurorights Foundation is an organization that seeks to promote ethical innovation, engages multilateral organizations, regional organizations, national governments, companies, entrepreneurs, investors, scientists, and the public at large to promote innovation and raise awareness about the human rights implications of neurotechnologies.The DWIH New York was established in 2010 to strengthen Germany’s reputation as a land of research, science and innovation by providing a platform for leaders in science, technology and the humanities to engage in transatlantic exchange and collaboration.Attendance is free, but please register in advance.Before the film, Rafael Yuste, Professor of Biological Sciences at Columbia University, Director of the Neurotechnology Center, and Chief Scientific Advisor of Theater of Thought, will give an introduction. After the screening, there will be a Q&amp;A with Stephen Damianos, Executive Director of the Neurorights Foundation and an affiliate of the Neurotechnology Center at Columbia University.<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/film-screening-werner-herzogs-theater-of-thought-tickets-1254738128519?aff=oddtdtcreator" title="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/film-screening-werner-herzogs-theater-of-thought-tickets-1254738128519?aff=oddtdtcreator" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> </a>
