20 | Mind Over Machine: The Illusions Powering the Future of BCIs

Today on Need to Know Nugget, host Ahmet Baysal is joined by Liya Suda to explore the fascinating world of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and the psychology of embodiment. What happens when your brain starts treating a prosthetic limb—or even a virtual one—as part of your own body? How do optical illusions help us control machines with our minds? From motion illusions to hybrid EEG signals, we uncover how tricking the brain can actually unlock smarter, more intuitive assistive technologies. With insights from groundbreaking global research, this episode dives into how illusion-driven neuroscience may soon change how we interact with tech, restore mobility, and even reshape what it means to “move.”Perfect for fans of psychology, neuroscience, AI, and future-forward innovation.
