Brain computer interfaces are a fascinating emerging industry, with several startups like Neuralink, Synchron and Blackrock Neurotech racing to optimize their tech and be the first to get it approved for clinical use.
In this vid, I discuss the science of BCI, the three different approaches to implanting the chips in the brain and the future of this technology.
