Episode notes
China Sets Concrete BCI Roadmap
- China issued concrete BCI guidelines with measurable targets for 2027 and 2030 to accelerate innovation.
- The plan focuses on hardware, decoding, integration, IP, and industry collaboration to build global leadership.
Tradeoffs Of Invasive BCIs
- Invasive BCIs offer high signal fidelity but carry surgical risks and potential immune responses.
- Neuralink's reported early human implant recovery marks a shift toward practical application.
Make Non-Invasive BCI Affordable
- Integrate non-invasive BCI coverage into healthcare to lower patient costs and increase adoption.
- The NHSA added a non-invasive BCI service fee item to support clinical device adjustments and reimbursement.
