Public Interest: EEG Implants

Abstract

Society acts according to the public interest. Products and technologies are integrated into society based on their value in people’s lives. Nueralink is developing an EEG implant that can bring many useful features to the public. This work explores the technological feasibility of a brain implant becoming a mainstream product as accepted by the public, and presents capabilities that are possible with such a device that would benefit people’s daily lives. The paper concludes that a brain implant will likely be adopted into the mainstream in the future due to its many functional benefits like driving assistance, vision enhancements, paralysis cures, and human-computer interaction benefits.
