  • Summary

  • The ability to control machines with just our minds is the well-worn stuff of science fiction. But science and engineering advances in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have rapidly brought these fantastical ideas into the realm of science fact, with remarkable implications—allowing, for instance, paralysed patients to regain control of their limbs and communicate just by thinking. In this week's episode, we ask whether we’re at a turning point for BCIs, explore what the next decade looks like for medical and consumer applications, and how we can responsibly shape the technology’s development. Featuring Ian Burkhart, BCI pioneer, Florian Solzbacher, co-founder of Blackrock Neurotech, Rajesh Rao, professor of computer science at the University of Washington, and Nicholas Opie, founder of Synchron.

    This episode is sponsored by Pictet Wealth Management and includes additional commentary from Adrien Brossard, senior healthcare analyst.
