Neurotech: Where Brains Meet Machines

Neurotechnology involves connecting the human brain with machines to restore or enhance

cognitive functions.

What are Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs)?

- Devices that read brain signals and translate them into commands.

- Used in prosthetics, speech generation, and even gaming.

Applications:

- Helping paralyzed individuals control devices

- Treating neurological disorders like epilepsy

- Enhancing memory and attention

Ethical Considerations:

- Privacy of thoughts

- Consent and data ownership

- Potential for misuse

Emerging startups include Neuralink, Kernel, and Synchron.
