Neuralink, Passive BCIs And The Future Of Neuroadaptive Technology
Forbes November 14, 2024
Thorsten O. Zander, a German scientist, co-founded Zander Labs and pioneered passive brain-computer interface and neuro-adaptive tech.
The recent conversation between Elon Musk and Lex Fridman has sparked a broader discussion about the future of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and their potential to revolutionize human-AI interaction. Neuralink’s invasive BCIs have captured the spotlight with their vision of high-bandwidth data transfer, but noninvasive passive BCIs offer an at least equally promising yet fundamentally different approach.
Neuralink’s invasive BCIs offer localized precision by capturing neural signals from specific brain regions. This holds immense potential for applications such as restoring motor function and treating neurological disorders. However, this approach also carries risks associated with surgical implantation, such as damage to brain tissue and infection.
