Merge Labs laboratory has commenced work on a novel “brain-computer” interface, fundamentally distinct from existing neurotechnologies.
Unlike conventional neural interfaces, the project does not involve implanting apparatus within the skull, reports peopletalk.ru.
Instead of standard electrodes, the developers plan to employ molecules capable of directly linking with neurons. Data transmission and reception will be achieved using ultrasound.
If the research yields positive outcomes, this technology, as envisioned by the project’s originators, will enable the integration of artificial intelligence into human thought processes. This will occur with minimal peril and unobtrusively for the user, establishing a fresh foundation for human and AI interaction.
