Researchers have developed a paper-thin brain implant called BISC that creates a high-bandwidth wireless link between the brain and computers. The single-chip device, which can slide into the narrow space between the brain and skull, could open new possibilities for treating conditions such as epilepsy, paralysis, and blindness by supporting advanced AI models that decode movement, perception, and intent.
