Another Brain Chip Interface

Thought-to-text chip smaller than Neuralink achieves 91% accuracy

The brain-machine interface race is on. While Elon Musk's Neuralink has garnered most of the headlines in this field, a new small and thin chip out of Switzerland makes it look downright clunky by comparison. It also works impressively well.

Any thoughts on this new area for chips? I hope it never leads to a brain control interface. The thought of it leading to a brain control chip might be next could have serious social implications that have not been fully explored. Any additions to this area would be appreciated. A new area for chips to explore, like any new technology.

You don’t need a direct brain interface for brain control. Literally just any kind of chip that can issue a ‘bad feeling’ to a nerve ending anywhere in the body can do it. Sadly, we have the technology to do this today.

The Lex Fridman interview of Neuralink is long but very enlightening on this topic. The first major goals are to help people who can’t manipulate their extremities, can’t see, etc.. It’s going to be a game changer for them, though regulation will be required.
