"OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, are planning to invest in brain-implant startup Merge Labs, a potential competitor to Elon Musk’s Neuralink in developing computer–brain interface technology. Merge Labs is expected to be valued at about $850 million, according to TechCrunch. The talks are still in the early stages, and OpenAI has not yet committed to participating, so the terms could change.

Altman will launch the product alongside Alex Blania, who runs World, an eyeball-scanning digital ID project, also backed by the OpenAI CEO. Altman will be a co-founder in the company, however, he will not have a day-to-day role in it, according to The Financial Times."

"Patient Receives Brain Implant That Can Wirelessly Control Computers

Neuralink competitor Paradromics plans to conduct the first clinical trial of its Connexus brain implant later this year.

The future of brain-computer interface (BCI) technology is looking bright. Scientists have just reported the first in-human recording from a novel wireless BCI device that could possibly help people with stroke communicate independently again.

Researchers at the University of Michigan performed the feat on May 14, using the Connexus BCI device developed by the company Paradromics. The device was temporarily implanted into the brain of a person living with epilepsy. Paradromics is now planning to conduct clinical trials of the device later this year.

The U-M research team, led by neurosurgeon Matthew Willsey, is working on a project to better understand how epilepsy affects the brain’s signaling. They partnered with Paradromics, one of several companies vying to pioneer the next generation of BCI technology (a list that also includes Elon Musk’s Neuralink), to use its experimental Connexus device."

#Dental #implants instead of ear buds. What difference would you get depending on upper or lower jaw placement? Do you get stereo with implants on both sides? You’d have to filter out chewing noises with software probably. Contra-indicated for those with bruxism issues.

Here is two videos of how traveling to #LosAlgodones #Mexico is like to get #dental work like #crowns #implants #rootcanals

I was lucky enough to discover "Molar City" through a ad and then did my own research using the first video to figure out that this city on the edge of Baja California and 10 mins away from Yuma is relatively safe back my trip in April 2024.

You can call the clinics because they have Arizona phone numbers from here.

The #IMEC recently presented an extremely small wireless power supply unit that works with ultrasound. It makes it possible to charge neural and other #implants with low power consumption. Since conventional power supply methods pose a risk to patients, the IMEC developed an #ultrasound technology whose radiation can penetrate the skull. The new technology can charge implants wirelessly.
