๐ฆฏ The Cells Nobody Was Watching
BCI research focus almost entirely on neurons. Makes sense, BCIs read & write neural activity. Everything else (most of brain cells) was treated as mere background infrastructure. That framing was wrongโฆ and it cost the field decades. #BCI #NeuroTech #Neuroscience
To ChatGPT: Elon Musk focuses on scalable technologies, also for the upcoming Neuralink Blindsight brain implant for the blind. At some point these implants will start to fail in patients. Will Neuralink's handling of failing brain implant prove scalable? [โฆ]
ChatGPT: "Failure handling - not initial implantation - will determine whether Neuralink is truly scalable."

If we want BCIs that can last a lifetime in the human brain, we need to fund the science that explains why they currently donโt. Link to basicscience resources:

โDiscovery. Thatโs what this is used for.โ -West Wing
BCIs are having a moment: billions in private capital, paralyzed patients moving cursors and typing with their minds. Real progress by talented engineers.
But most people donโt see whatโs underneath. #BCI #Neurotech

๐ฉน The Brain Tries to Heal Itself Around Neural Implantsโฆ And Thatโs the Problem After the shock of insertion, the brain does what itโs optimized to do over millions of years: heal.
In doing so, it builds a wall around your electrode. #Neuroscience #BCI #Immunology #NeuralEngineering #NeuroTech

Most assume implants fail slowly over months. The moment an electrode enters the brain, microglia rush toward it within seconds, like fingers reaching for a splinter. Blood vessels leak. The BBB breaks. Inflammation starts instantly.
