Brain-Computer Interfaces

Published on: 1st February, 2022

Once the stuff of science fiction, brain-computer interfaces have been gaining attention lately in part due to Neuralink, run by Elon Musk. Chris welcomes back Di O'Neill to discuss brain-computer interfaces, their applications in both the medical and consumer space, UX issues and concerns, and of course monkeys playing Pong. In Condensed Soup Di and Chris discuss whether they would ever use a brain-computer interface.
