Wireless brain implants are entering human trials—what’s the realistic timeline before this becomes non-medical?
Feels like we’re still pretty far from this going mainstream outside of medical use. Right now, most of the work is focused on treating things like paralysis or severe depression, where the risk is easier to justify.
Even if the tech works well, the bigger bottleneck might be regulation and public comfort. Brain surgery (even minimally invasive) isn’t something people will casually sign up for just to get a productivity boost. Curious what others think—is this more like smartphones (fast adoption) or something that stays niche for decades?
