Brain Implant Enables Mind Control For Apple’s Spatial Computer

Computer & Electronics, Tech /

Minimally Invasive Approach to Brain-Computer Interfaces Rather than removing part of the skull to install a brain-computer interface like Neuralink, Synchron uses electrodes that are introduced through the jugular vein to the motor cortex. Now, this technology has enabled an ALS patient to control the Apple Vision Pro hands-free. Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) are devices that […]

Mobile Factory Makes Lego-Style Bricks from Rubble

Tech /

Wars are adept at turning buildings into rubble, but this mobile manufacturing machine does the opposite: it transforms debris from destroyed buildings into bricks. These bricks can be assembled Lego-style into mortarless structures. After years of development, the first mobile brick factory is heading to Ukraine to assist in rebuilding housing and infrastructure. Western Australia

Simulations Show Musk’s Vision System Performs Poorly

Tech, Wearables /

Elon Musk’s ambitious eye implants, which aim to surpass normal human vision, are unlikely to achieve this goal. Scientists using ‘virtual patients’ have highlighted the limitations of this technology, showing that even the best engineering cannot fully replicate human neurophysiology in restoring sight. Elon Musk’s ambitious eye implants, which aim to surpass normal human vision,
