Episode 16: Machine Speak

We at Across the Cline and SciComm@UCR, would like to respectfully acknowledge and recognize our responsibility to the original and current caretakers of the land, water, and air on which we record this podcast: the Cahuilla, Tongva, Luiseño, and Serrano peoples and all of their ancestors and descendants, past, present, and future. This place is home to many Indigenous peoples from all over the world, including our colleagues, guests, and community, and we are grateful to have the opportunity to live and work on these homelands.

Do you ever talk to yourself? What about to a machine? In this episode, we explore how humans and machines respond to their environments and how that ability can change over time with graduate student in the Department of Psychology at UC Riverside, Shannon Brady, and graduate student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Washington, Joseph Sullivan. Get ready for a chat about control theory, emotions, and mental health!
