Roger Gassert discusses brain-computer interfaces on ETH Zukunftsblog
It will still be a long way before brain-computer interfaces are able to read thoughts. And many limitations need to be considered, according to Roger Gassert.
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) allow people with severe physical or speech disabilities to interact and communicate with their surroundings using their thoughts interpreted by a computer. Elon Musk’s Neuralink recently presented the company’s plans for using innovative “threads” – ultrathin flexible electrodes that could be implanted in the cerebral cortex to connect people with the digital world.
