The Future of Brain Interfacing

Flip Sabes, PhD

Starfish Neuroscience, Professor Emeritus, UCSF Department of Physiology
 
Brain interfacing holds immense promise, from the treatment of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders to controlling our mental state, from restoring lost sensory, motor or cognitive function to changing how we interact with the world around us. Academic research on such devices has made steady progress, but this progress has not yet translated into real world applications.  Today, we’re seeing a new surge of industry investment in brain interfacing, from small lab-based startups to the worlds largest companies. This investment might mark an inflection point in the field, creating the momentum needed to go from promise to product. Here, I’ll present my view of present state of brain interfacing and the key challenges and opportunities, as seen through the lens of my earlier work at. UCSF and my more recent work in the startup world.
