Neural Interfaces
Dr. Phillip Alvelda, Program Manager in DARPA’s Biological Technologies Office (BTO), discusses the potential of next-generation neural interfaces to improve quality of life for people and revolutionize how we engage with machines in this video. The talk was part of a two-day event held by BTO to bring together leading-edge technologists, start-ups, industry, and academic researchers to look at how advances in engineering and information sciences can be used to drive biology for technological advantage. |
According to Dr. Phillip Alvelda, a DARPA Program Manager in the Biological Technologies Office, "We're at the very beginning what's possible in this industry."
"I believe that with these types of technologies we can allow the deaf to hear, the blind to see and the mute to speak." |
