MSP291. Brains. The Future of Superhuman Abilities

Rich Bradbury and Matt Armitage dive deep into the world of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and its potential to create of enhanced, super intelligent cyborgs.

From Elon Musk's Neuralink to military applications, they explore the current state of BCI technology, detailing advances in implantable and non-invasive technology and its ability to decode thoughts and translate them into actions.

They discuss current applications, which include restoring movement in patients with paralysis, using avatars to recreate speech and playing the piano. And look at some of the challenges that lie in the path of creating a race of enhanced humans.
