π° What Happened
Science Corporation CEO Max Hodak says the age of screens may be ending. He will speak at TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco on 13 to 15 October.
His company is working on a brain-computer interface. It has brought in a leading brain scientist to run the first US human trials of the device.
Hodak's talk is called Beyond Screens. He will argue that future computers may hook into our brains instead of our keyboards and phones.
π The Backstory
Hodak started coding at six years old. He studied biomedical engineering at Duke and worked in a brain-computer lab. In 2016 he co-founded Neuralink and was its first president.
He left Neuralink and started Science Corporation in 2021. The firm focuses on helping people with vision, thinking and movement problems.
Its PRIMA implant has already brought back some sight for people with severe vision loss. It uses glasses with a tiny camera and a chip placed in the retina. The company has raised $230 million.
π― Why It Matters
Brain implants sound like science fiction, but they already help some blind people see shapes. If the idea grows, we may control devices without screens. It also raises hard questions about privacy and consent.
