This chapter discusses the use of implanted computer chips in the treatment of severe depression. It explores the surgery procedure, the stimulation of specific areas in the brain, and raises ethical questions related to brain surgeries for mental diseases.
How would you react to the idea of implanting a chip in someone's brain? Is it sheer excitement at the prospect of a futuristic cyborg evolution? Perhaps there is a reasonable concern about privacy and morality? Or, maybe you might dismiss it as mere make-believe? Brace yourself because it's not just a concept anymore. It has become a reality, and it's happening for the treatment of depression. Join us as we talk about the groundbreaking Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) clinical trial. On the show: Niu Honglin, Xingyu & Josh Cotterill
