Are we headed toward a technology revolution in therapeutic BCI?. I just wrote this piece about why I believe neurotech will become an indispensable tool for addressing the growing mental health crisis and become as common as personal computing. š§µ. #BCI

Check out our cute little network of wireless bioelectronic implants! . Out now in @NaturePortfolio Nature BME, we show magnetoelectric-powered implants deliver coordinated electrical stimulation of cardiac and neural targets in large animals! (link in š§µ). So proud of Joshua

Scaling is indeed one of biggest challenges for high-performance neurotechlogoies. I encourage all you smart builders and researchers to check this out and provide comments to @JacquesCarolan . We need to solve this challenge for neurotech to have the kind of impact we all hope.
Iāve been thinking a lot about how we scale neurotech. Current approaches (e.g. DBS for PD) arenāt meeting the need. Emerging ones may fare even worse. Thatās why Iām scoping an @ARIA_research programme to develop neurotech built for scale. Check out my post +share feedback!š

Gonna be a very interesting year for neurotech!.
In about 9 months, Paradromics will leapfrog Elon Musk and Neuralink, and we wonāt look back after that.

Better regulation of mental and cognitive states would benefit almost everyone. "Therapeutic BCI" in just depression and epilepsy is estimated to be >$200B market. As this tech becomes more common, I think BCI for mental health will be more common than pacemakers for cardiac.

Why? Exponential improvement in performance and reduction in costs drove technology revolutions in other industries:

Totally blown away by the experience of presenting at MARS: Fascinating dinners with @JeffBezos, Ron Howard, wonderful founders, scientists, and folks from Amazon. I even got to fan-boy over my favorite podcasters Ben Gilbert and David Rosenthal (who were super kind BTW). Most

My rationale for our controversial comment in Nature BME proposing an application-based taxonomy for BCI (unrolled from LinkedIn): . Why we should consider labeling BCI based on its intended use.
