The Provocateurs: When silence listens / Your robot bestie

Can hearing someone you know change brain recovery? Roseminu Varghese (Edinburgh Napier University) reveals how familiar voices influence consciousness in comatose patients and why human connection may be a powerful clinical tool.

Franziska Heck (Edinburgh Napier University) takes a critical look at robot companionship through media narratives, emerging AI products, and ongoing research. As engagement is engineered and companionship comes at a price, she questions what we are building and who benefits from it.

14+ must be accompanied by an adult.

ALL SEATING IS UNRESERVED AND LATECOMERS MAY NOT BE ADMITTED
