TNW Backstage returns to delve into the rapidly advancing field of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). These neural devices, which can be implanted or worn, have shown capabilities in measuring focus, treating Parkinson’s disease, and allowing paralyzed individuals to control computers with their minds. Various labs and tech companies are innovating in this space, with Elon Musk’s Neuralink receiving significant attention for its work, including enabling monkeys to play Pong using only their minds and ambitious plans for human applications such as enhancing abilities and direct downloading of information.
