Finally, brain polyprize!

There are people deeply techno-religious, and there are others who pretend to be such because they are paid… as influencers… Both the former and the latter emerged from the opportunity of defending the platforms of genetic modification of cells… Where were such “diamonds” of the bioinformatics underground hidden for so many years, and they hadn’t gone to become experimental animals?

As if there weren’t already exciting news for these neo- or old-enlightened ones! (The era will constantly have “miracles” for their party). The FDA, the well-known American branch of the bio-info-security mafia, has given its approval to the company Synchron for clinical trials on a new “product” for direct brain-computer interface. The product consists of implanting special micro-electrodes in the form of an expandable mesh into the brain, so that neural activities are converted into electrical signals and directed straight to a computer. The implantation is done in blood vessels at the base of the skull and from there they are “pushed” towards appropriately selected points in the brain. From a technical point of view, it is indeed an impressive construction…

What (good, always!!!) purpose does this interface serve and why did the FDA get involved? Obviously, human health will be served, in general and specifically – has there been any crime since the time of the crusades and onwards that was not “for a good cause”? The approval for Synchron left Neuralink’s well-known Musk, who is engaged in exactly the same techno-philanthropy, feeling disgruntled: implants in the human skull and connecting it to computers. However, there is space and time for everyone. The CEO of Synchron, Thomas Oxley, told Bloomberg that he hopes the company’s techno-patent will be available on the market in 3 to 5 years.

We assume that the army will proceed first…
