A visit to the New York City headquarters of Synchron, a major Neuralink competitor, provides an intriguing look at the booming potential of brain-computer interface technology. An expert in the field, Bradley Greger, an associate professor in the School of Biological and Health Systems Engineering, part of the Fulton Schools, shares his view of the potential benefits and risks of this fast-evolving high-tech advancement. Greger cautions about the expected hype of the potential benefits of these interface capabilities as companies attempt to move it quickly into the marketplace. He and other academics see its potential to provide much of benefit but are also cautious about the possibly serious consequences if such systems become in some ways invasive.
