Neuralink Blindsight or The vOICe? Informed consent means that Neuralink's blind patients at least know of The vOICe vision BCI https://www.artificialvision.com/neuralink.htm Note: bone conduction stereo earbuds can be hidden in the legs of smart glasses for the blind; #BCI #NeuroTech #neuroscience

Excited to share this new paper, based on use of The vOICe sensory substitution device for the blind:
Visual mental imagery and neural dynamics of sensory substitution in the blindfolded subject https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1053811924001162
• Hierarchical sensory processing mechanisms for the sensory substitution stimuli.
• Top-down processing induced by visual mental imagery is the dominant mechanism.
• Within and cross-frequency couplings induced by visual mental imagery.

quantum sensing allows you to measure e.g. weight extremely precise with no calibration just looking at one atom and relying on the physics. So you can weigh a truck, or you can detect magma and predict volcano eruptions, HIGHLY sensitive radio transmissions can be detected, stable in time. Magnetic fields very precise, can see the heart beat. [sounds like the ethics issues will be just like the #neurotech panel] This has all been Philippe Bouyer.

WIRED Middle East · This brain implant is made to treat mental health problemsNeuralink's first subject just demonstrated his BCI. And this biotech company wants to treat mental health problems with a brain implant.
I feel like we need a team of ethical hackers trying to breach Neuralink's first human brain implant patient, just to see if it can be done and how to make it safer.
"Moving a prosthetic arm. Controlling a speaking avatar. Typing at speed. These are all things that people with paralysis have learnt to do using BCIs — implanted devices that are powered by thought alone."

This phenomenon was first described in the 19th century when Professor Jean-Martin Charcot noticed an improvement in his Parkinson’s patients after a bumpy carriage ride.”

"The future of bioengineering is blurring the line between brain and computer, making machinery work in tandem with the neural impulses that control our movement, speech and thoughts. A facility in Addison [Texas] is producing the tools that could make that future a reality."

Next was a fantastic symposium on the ethical implications of neurotechnology at the Harvard Medical School Center for Bioethics with Francis X. Shen (harms, benefits, and boundaries), Gabriel Lázaro-Muñoz (research/care in deep brain stimulation), and Theresa Williamson (using neurotech under uncertainty).
