Breakthroughs in Brain-Computer Interfaces: From Stroke Recovery to AI Chips

In this episode, we dive into the latest advancements in brain-computer interfaces (BCI), featuring a remarkable case where a stroke patient regains the ability to speak in multiple languages using AI-enabled implants. We discuss the successes and failures of different BCI technologies, including Elon Musk's Neuralink, and explore the ethical implications and future potential of these innovations. Join tech legend Jay Gunkelman and Dr. Marie Swingle as they navigate through the fascinating world of neuroscience, AI, and their impact on mental health and human capabilities.
