Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) have been around for over a century, however only in the last 20 years did the direct brain-to-motor interactions become shockingly good.

In this video, I’ll walk through the key Braingate and Neuralink demos offering thoughts from the UX research, design and product strategy perspective.

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are revolutionizing how we interact with technology, and Neuralink is at the forefront of this innovation. A recent trial participant, Nolan, demonstrates the incredible potential of BCIs in everyday life.

As BCIs evolve, UX designers face unique challenges in creating intuitive, accessible interfaces that adapt to users’ changing needs. The future may see AI-driven BCIs that streamline interactions, making them faster than traditional methods.

While Neuralink shows immense promise, it also raises important questions about the long-term implications of merging human cognition with technology. As this field progresses, balancing simplicity with expanded capabilities will be key to unlocking the full potential of BCIs.
