A look at efforts to develop brain-computer interfaces, including Musk's Neuralink and a DARPA program to build a 64,000-electrode array for brain implants
GOOD @WIRED piece on direct brain inputs https://www.wired.com/... Makes a crucial point—implanted electrodes or optogenetics won't be useful if we don't know where to put them for wh/effects. Same as genomics: “good” editing requires knowing what to edit. Tools ahead of knowledg…
Really nice piece in @wired on the state of direct brain input - not using thoughts to control the world but evoking sight and sensations in people's minds - and the many challenges that mean it will be a slow journey. https://www.wired.com/...
Fascinating read into how emerging brain-computer interfaces can potentially make uploading synthetic experiences to the brain a reality in the future. https://www.wired.com/... https://twitter.com/...
The idea of uploading a synthetic experience into a mind has been a load-bearing member in science fiction for at least 75 years. New brain-computer interfaces are making it nonfiction. @WIRED investigates. https://cndn.st/Nh0uxcB
Happy Thanksgiving! Getting signals out of the human brain is getting easier. Putting information and experiences *into* a brain—you know, like the Matrix!—is still real hard. https://www.wired.com/...
