That’s worser than neuralink

how so

Those of us who protect our mental privacy, who actually use our brains are watching the science on this because we don’t like it
@TheNaiv69

still nope

Neuralink is so cooked 😂

good
@JustinsGarage

@brettwellington8610 only small minded individuals would watch this and think neuralink is dead. This is ground zero for the innovation battle in implanted tech. Go watch something more your speed.

@brettwellington8610 unless this is neurolink soon to be owned or is covertly owned company

the future has come… cant wait to see superhuman brain or matrix something

Cyborg is the future.. still undecided. Make sense for disability people, but for healthy individuals, no thanks.
@justinunion7586

Why not for healthy individuals and only disabled people?
@sunflash9
October 11, 2026 at 12:17 pm
@justinunion7586 Do you want somebody hack your brain.

@justinunion7586 — Everybody’s decision calculus would be different, but I suspect many would be worried about surgical risk and privacy loss.
@justinunion7586
October 11, 2026 at 1:44 pm
@declup Surgical risk is becoming less and less of a risk because these procedures are progressively becoming more accurate and less invasive. Privacy loss is too vague and loaded. What privacy is being lost? The privacy to do what?

It would be nice to see this technology become practical and affordable enough to help those with disabilities.

I became partially paralyzed and lost my vision around eight years ago, so I’m really excited about these developments! I followed them pretty closely. Precision Neuroscience is just one of the companies that are involved in this space (and they’re not even the most advanced). There are tons of others! 🤞

Competition will drive prices down like with all technology: e.g, medicine, vaccines, personal computers, smartphones, etc.

I’m really excited about BCI Tech! I’m blind – I lost my vision eight years ago – and now I’m really excited that someday it could be restored to me! The Prima device from Science Corp. has already proven that this kind of Tech can restore vision, and their device has been approved for sale in Europe. You guys should cover that, too!

We’re at the beginning stages of the Cyborg trend. This will likely extend far beyond practical use cases.

October 11, 2026 at 1:53 pm
Nerual Link is better as you no longer need to cut into the duramater to implant the device.
@ConsultorJunior-u9c
October 11, 2026 at 2:12 pm
Still nope, I am not letting people cut my head open to insert a computer. No implants

GREAT! Soon we can buy a subscription to our own brain! Thanks, corporation!!!

The moment you introduce wireless capabilities (WiFi or Bluetooth) with passwords and encryption – you’re just splaying things wide open and exposing an entirely new attack surface full of vulnerabilities with third-party extensions.
Security should always be the number one concern with any technological development.
ESPECIALLY these, the primordial developments, in what is sure to be a very full ancestral tree of BCIs.
