Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are no longer science fiction—they’re being tested in labs and startups around the world. Companies like Neuralink and Synchron are developing devices that allow humans to control computers with thoughts alone. While initial use cases target disabilities (like enabling paralyzed individuals to move robotic limbs), the future could bring hands-free computing, memory enhancement, and mental health applications.
This post dives into where neurotechnology is heading and the implications of merging mind and machine. Will we be able to upload skills or emotions? Could tech become a direct extension of our consciousness? While the potential is vast, it also raises ethical questions about identity, consent, and cognitive privacy.
