This project offered a very open framework to explore future technologies and speculative scenarios. I took this chance to explore the idea of brain–machine interfaces, a topic I have been interested in for a long time. Sometimes discussed as a possible future step in human–computer interaction, I find this space both fascinating and unsettling. If technology starts interacting directly with our brains, the line between biological and artificial systems begins to blur. With Nora, I imagined a very early step in that direction. Instead of reading thoughts or accessing information, the device only offers subtle, caffeine-like stimulation to gently shift cognitive states.
