"UT's SXSW Panels: Exploring Brain-Computer Interface and Technological Innovation"
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are advancing, with devices like the Stentrode offering wireless, minimally invasive options for patients with severe disabilities. Neurosurgeon Shahram Majidi discusses the intricate surgical process and the life-changing impact on patients, envisioning a future where BCIs become routine procedures for various conditions. As the field progresses, he anticipates a growing demand for BCI surgeons and the potential for expanding BCI applications beyond paralysis to treat conditions like seizures, depression, and eating disorders.
