Max Hodak, co-founder of Neuralink and founder of Science, discusses the company's retinal implant that restores sight, the concept of the brain as a computer with a definable API, the surprising parallels between neural representations and latent spaces in AI, and the future of bio-hybrid interfaces.
This talk by Hakim Si-Mohammed explores the evolution of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) from clinical rehabilitation tools to integral components of immersive systems. It details research on integrating BCIs with Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR), focusing on SSVEP-based interaction, user experience enhancements, and the development of passive, neuro-adaptive systems that respond to user mental states to mitigate issues like cybersickness.
