Concur with all points sans belief there will never be a method without inflammation, scar tissue or other deleterious long-term response to invasive measure activity. It could be as simple as patching some adipose stem cells with a bit of extra code, onto the ends of our tech. Or perhaps a coating of proteins? Ultimately, all of these direct interfaces requires this anti-scarring biologic integration technology before being able to be mainstream.

Genuinely curious, do you have any links to research about this? That sounds very not-simple to me but I don't actually know anything about this field.
- XorNot 3y agoYes and no: adding the right protein coat solves a lot of problems. But proteins aren't durable - they degrade, and your body is designed to continuously replace them. Functionally when you want to coat something with a layer of biological <thing X> to fix a compatibility problem, the issue isn't that it won't work, it's that it won't be long term stable - you're not needing to build infrastructure, you're needing to build a whole little self-regulating system that will replace and turn itself over stably.
- Zenzero 3y agoRight. It's a problem I don't see any near term solution for. It is not my area of expertise, but my expectation is that we will ultimately see some sort of externally applied miniaturized EEG/MR combo with improved spacial resolution for feeding into deep learning models. Normalizing electrode implantation sounds like lunacy to me.
