The Very Real Case for Brain-Computer Implants
SMRTR summary
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are advancing rapidly, with companies like Synchron and Neuralink competing to develop commercial models. Synchron's device, inserted through blood vessels, offers a less invasive option than traditional brain implants. It allows paralyzed patients to control computers, use consumer tech, and regain some independence. While promising, BCIs still face regulatory hurdles and questions about measuring effectiveness before becoming widely available.
