What does the future hold for brain implant technology?

Al Jazeera  

On Wednesday, December 14 at 19:30 GMT: For decades, scientists have been developing brain-computer interfaces – technology that allows humans to control computers via the power of thought alone. Researchers have found some success in using BCI technology with brain implants that help people with mobility disorders control prosthetic limbs. Now private companies like Elon Musk’s Neuralink are growing their presence in the neurotech field, and with that growth comes the prospect of creating brain implant devices for a broader market beyond those with disabilities. In this episode of The Stream, we are joined by: Anna Wexler, @anna_wexler Professor of neuroethics, University of Pennsylvania Karen Rommelfanger, @EmoryNeuroethic Director, Institute of Neuroethics Kurt Haggstrom, @synchroninc Chief Commercial Officer, Synchron
