We flew out to Salt Lake City, Utah, to get an exclusive look at the company behind some of the most advanced implantable neurotechnologies, Blackrock Neurotech. Brain implants are here, and they’re becoming more and more advanced every day. The Utah Array and Neuroport system allows for high-quality data recording and stimulation. It has the most in-subject research hours of any brain-computer interface on the market and has been a part of the most advanced BCIs since 2004, inspiring hope in persons with movement disorders. We also saw their newly announced Neuralace interface debuted in November 2022. Learn what it takes to work at a company at the forefront of brain-computer interface development.
Thanks to Blackrock Neurotech for sponsoring this video. The opinions expressed in this video are that of The BCI Guys and should be taken as such.

By the way, Blackrock Neurotech is not affiliated with the BlackRock financial firm - this is a frequent question.

Thank you so much for continuously making great content! I just have one question: Is the Neuroport Array just a different name for the Utah Array or are these two different BCIs?

@BCIGuy Жыл бұрын

Thanks! Yeah they both use the Utah array. Technically (and I learned this after we filmed) the neuroport “array” includes the pedestal (the port at the top of the skull). So it’s the Utah array plus the pedestal - the most important thing and the reason why it’s named differently is it is specially designed and cleared for human use

I am currently doing my master project on developing a BCI for decoding imagined digits (Muse2 headset). I wonder about your choice of placement for the utah arrays. Do you place it in the motor cortex for control of prosthetics but in the PFC for things like word recognition/decoding? Do you implant several utah arrays per patient? Do you calculate differences in signals between these arrays for guiding movement? I have so many questions, it makes me so excited for the future of this field!

I have had a bci implant for 3 1/2 years they have a log in and harass me daily smell taste and feel everything I found this out threw ct scan and mri I also found out take a heavy magnet it will stick to the implant because of the battery and tray I hope this helps someone going threw this there using these for tourture devices instead of helping people thanks

I wonder how people get picked to be these BCI Pioneers? Cause despite not having accessibility needs, or a degree, or any uniqueness at all, I'd honor the chance to explore this frontier in exchange for the comfort of my body. If I put it that way it sound kinda morose I guess... If I'm being honest these people serve a lifelong job, with a some extraneous risk of mishap like stroke, or death, or worse. So while I'm not saying "sign me up doc, gimme da brain chip" lmao, the excitement of providing science and interacting with researchers leading such a promising field in humanity is something I'm starstricken by. If I ever achieve the finances for college someday, it will be to pursue this field. Hands-down one of the most fascinating topics being researched. Especially if it gets me closer to being a participant hahaha

alot of people are trying to find happiness in life and only end up finding temporary happiness. the issue is that good cannot exist without bad. when you achieve one thing you will become happy and then suffer with depression afterwards. the only true solution to finding happiness is by hacking and reprogramming the brain. for some people the depression is so bad that it gives them suicidal thoughts. it makes me wonder whether we are actually any happier than other animals or if theres a state of balance where the sum of all good equals the sum of all bad.

@@henrygarner646 woah dude. ignore that comment i wrote. i had severe suicidal depression and it was extremely painful. it was even worse than a kidney stone and affected me psychologically. my brain got hacked into thinking that the depression was normal. i think the trigger was from hershey special dark chocolate or sugar. either way its gone and im avoiding sugar. the depression went away within only 2 days after switching to elimination diet of meat + bread only.
