How to turn imagined words into speech!
by Yasaman Rohanifar 09 May '19

09 May '19

I really enjoyed watching this TED Talk by Uri Hasson, a neuroscientist at Princeton. Thought I'd share it with you. https://www.ted.com/talks/uri_hasson_this_is_your_brain_on_communication?ut… P.S: Loved it how it all came to finding a "common ground" or in our word, a "third space" in the end! All the best, Yasaman

Hi Folks, DGP has ordered t-shirts for CHI which will be delivered tomorrow afternoon. Since it will be too heavy for me to carry all the 50 shirts, I wonder if some of you can help. Regards, Ishtiaque
