Deep dives
China's Progress in Brain-Computer Interface Technology
China is quickly catching up with the US in developing brain-computer interface (BCI) technology. Unlike the US, China has focused on non-invasive BCIs worn on the head rather than invasive ones implanted in the brain or on its surface. Chinese research on BCIs includes exploring non-medical applications like cognitive enhancements for healthy individuals, a controversial area that the country is transparent about. This progress raises concerns about the ethical implications and potential societal impacts of advancing BCI technology.
