Our emotions influence every aspect of our lives — how we learn, how we communicate, how we make decisions. Yet they’re absent from our digital lives; the devices and apps we interact with have no way of knowing how we feel. Scientist Rana el Kaliouby aims to change that.

She demos a powerful new technology that reads your facial expressions and matches them to corresponding emotions. This ”emotion engine” has big implications, she says, and could change not just how we interact with machines — but with each other.

Neuroscientist Lisa Genova digs into two types of memory failures we regularly experience — and reassures us that forgetting is totally normal. Stay tuned for a conversation with TED science curator David Biello, where Genova describes the difference between common moments of forgetting and possible signs of Alzheimer’s, debunks a widespread myth about brain capacity and shares what you can do to keep your brain healthy and your memory sharp.

Colleges and universities in the US make billions of dollars each year from sports, compromising the health and education of athletes — who are disproportionately Black — in the name of money, power and pride. Sports lawyer and former NCAA investigator Tim Nevius exposes how the system exploits young talent and identifies fundamental reforms needed to protect players.

This talk was presented to a local audience at TEDxDayton, an independent event. TED’s editors chose to feature it for you.
