Today, I want to discuss with you the connection between the human brain and computers. Some of you might be wondering if this is even possible. A computer is something entirely different from the human brain, right? And that’s true, but there’s a reason why we can still make them communicate with each other. Both our brains and our computers operate with electrical signals. The communication between different brain cells in our brain happens with tiny electrical impulses—actual electrical connections. And of course, you already know that this is how computers work. The first thing we need to do is establish a connection between the brain and the computer. This is currently done in a rather primitive way. A small piece of the skull is removed, and an implant is placed, through which tiny wires connect to the brain. So far, this has been done with two people by the company Neuralink, and if you cover it with the patient’s hair, you can barely see it. Meanwhile, new technologies are being developed to make the connection in a more elegant way without drilling, but not much is known about that yet. I suspect that in about 25 years, tiny robots, so-called nanobots, will be injected into your bloodstream and will then wirelessly make the connections in your brain.
I invite you to listen to my podcast regularly. We will discuss fascinating technologies and inventions. We will talk about the problems and opportunities. We will ponder what the world could look like. I promise you it will be an exciting, fun, and optimistic journey. A journey full of robots, artificial intelligence, self-driving cars, and sustainable energy. A journey full of questions and answers. A journey full of wonder and astonishment. But also, a journey with a lot of recognition. I am going to create these episodes with great pleasure and I look forward to hearing your reactions.
