Digital Ghosts & AI Avatars

from The Grief Lab · host The Grief Lab

Is this a revolutionary tool for closure, or a psychological minefield that keeps the wound from ever closing? Today, we are investigating Digital Ghosts. We’re looking at what happens to your Fusiform Gyrus (the part of the brain that recognises faces) when it sees a 'live' version of a dead person. It’s a bit of a tall order for the human heart to process a ghost in the machine.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-grief-lab--6886563/support.
