Michael Mager: 作为Precision Neuroscience的CEO,我致力于开发一种脑机接口技术,旨在帮助那些因瘫痪而无法与数字世界互动的人们。我们的技术基于一种微创的皮质表面阵列,它能够以高分辨率测量大脑的电活动,并且不会对大脑造成损伤。我们已经获得了FDA的批准,这使我们能够更快地将这项技术推向市场。我们的目标是让保险公司能够报销这项技术,从而使更多的人能够受益。目前,我们专注于帮助那些严重瘫痪、无法使用手臂和手的人,但未来我们希望能够扩展到那些有其他运动障碍的人。我相信,脑机接口技术具有巨大的潜力,它不仅可以改善人们的生活质量,还可以创造一个巨大的市场。 Christopher Mims: Precision Neuroscience正在开发的脑机接口技术,使人们仅用思想就能控制电脑,但面临着包括Neuralink在内的竞争。Precision Neuroscience的技术是可移除的,这意味着它是可升级的,就像更换新的iPhone一样,并且可以在大脑上同时放置多个电极阵列。与Neuralink不同,Precision Neuroscience将自己定位为一家医疗公司,专注于人类健康,而不是创造人类和人工智能之间的共生关系。Precision Neuroscience的方法是让更多人参与进来,以了解其系统的效果,并获得患者、临床医生、外科医生、护士和管理人员的反馈。获得反馈对于建立业务至关重要,并且越早获得反馈,成功的机会就越大。
