Even discounting everything about the ethics, feasibility, state of our conceptual knowledge of brain function, has anyone demonstrated how a six-figure hardware suite like this https://plexon.com/plexon-systems/ https://plexon.com/plexon-systems/ is going to be miniaturized into a smartphone sized device mass produced for consumer purchase in the timetable laid out by Neuralink?
- swordsmith 5y agoSee (https://www.brown.edu/news/2021-03-31/braingate-wireless https://www.brown.edu/news/2021-03-31/braingate-wireless), wireless BCI, in humans nevertheless. It's not mass produced, but mostly because there isn't the need to.
- mattkrause 5y agoIt almost is, actually. The hardware in that system is from Blackrock Microsystems. You can call them up and buy it right now (if you’ve got the cash...It’s not cheap!) It’s currently intended for research, so you’ll need ethics approval and the decoder isn’t included (but that’s the fun part anyway). Ripple Neuro sells similar gear (better, even, maybe) and Neuralynx and some smaller companies also have competing products. It’s not in every corner store, but you could have a similar setup this month if you really wanted to.
