Would you let scientists install this tiny chip into your brain? [Video]

A tiny brain chip converts thought-to-text with 91% accuracy.

The so-called brain-machine interface (BMI), designed to be inserted into a patient’s head, appears much smaller than Elon Musk’sNeuralink.

It works by decoding neural signals generated when a person imagines writing letters or words.

The Miniaturised Brain-Machine Interface (MiBMI) chipset then processes these signals in real-time, translating the brain’s intended hand movements into corresponding digital text.

BMIs have emerged as a promising solution for restoring communication and control to individuals with severe motor impairments.

The chip has been developed by researchers at Switzerland’s Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL).

Traditionally, these systems have been bulky, power-intensive, and limited in their practical applications. Researchers at EPFL have developed the first high-performance MiBMI, offering an extremely small, low-power, highly accurate, and versatile solution.

Whereas Neuralink is about the size of a one-pound coin, the new system uses small chips with a total area …
