This is part of Remarkable Insights. 

There is a significant opportunity to leverage technological innovation to drive an inclusive future. But who is left behind as technology transforms the society around us? 

How might we use Remarkable Insights to create an inclusive now? 

While the world looked to the skies with Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos blasting into the edge of space, where might be the next frontier for technology? Brain-computer interface (BCI), a neural device that translates a person’s brain activity into external responses or directives, might sound like science fiction. Yet we are getting closer to the day where we can directly interact with and control machines with our minds. What does this mean for those with a disability?

Joining us for this panel discussion is a patented inventor of a brain control assistive tech, a neuroengineer who enabled the first demonstration of brain-controlled robotic limbs by people with paralysis, and a founder leading a world-class research & development team that has delivered a human-grade implant. Together let’s explore the possibilities and applications of BCI.
