{ SCI = Skin Computer Interface / BCI = Brain Computer Interface }
After experimenting for a couple of years and getting FDA approval , Elon Musk’s Neuralink planted in a patient’s brain , a sensor which will capture brain waves , decode what these signify and based on those interpretations , do things like moving a paralysed leg / hand or type on a computer screen
Renowned scientist Stephen Hawking was able to type on a computer screen, by just looking at an alphabet / keyboard on that screen
If Neuralink experiment succeeds , it will still take , at least a decade before its cost becomes affordable to a insignificant fraction of patients needing such BCI
For 99.999 % of remaining patients , it will remain “ out of reach “
For rest of the humans, there will be no need for such a “ surgical intervention “
And when it is a matter of just “ monitoring “ a person’s vital health signs, Smart watches are making rapid progress . But besides being expensive , these will continue to have limited acceptance
But here comes a news which may change that . It may , after all bring about what I envisaged in my following 7 year old blog :
