What Should We Check Out Next?

We’ve checked out thought-controlled robotic limbs, and are now lining up brain-to-brain communication with thought alone. Where shall we go next? Some ideas of things going on around the US:

  • The race to commercialize brain-hacking (Neuralink vs Kernel)
  • Women’s brains and research focused specifically on that, at the Wyss Center
  • Brainet, Duke University’s networked brains and its implications
  • Neuroethics and surrounding discussions/questions, with Duke, UW and Tristan Harris
  • Video games for cognitive enhancement/adaptation at UCSF
  • Superhumans — super human cognition and those possibilities
  • Neural Engineering — surgical implants at Case Western University that have helped a tetrapalegic move his limbs again
