Oxley is the founder and CEO of Synchron, a company creating a brain-computer interface, or BCI. These devices work by eavesdropping on the signals emanating from your brain and converting them into commands that then enact a movement, like moving a robotic arm or a cursor on a screen. The implant essentially acts as an intermediary between mind and computer.
On July 6 of this year, the first Synchron was implanted in a patient, enabling him to control a computer mouse. It’s also much easier to put in than other types of devices. Apparently there are quite a few instances of this starting to happen. Seems like a really interesting space to follow.
