Brain Research: "That would be one of the greatest discoveries of humanity"
With her start-up Inbrain, Carolina Aguilar is developing brain-computer interfaces - similar to Sam Altman and Elon Musk. In an interview, she says her dream is even bigger than Musk's.
Brain-Computer-Interface (BCI) researcher Aguilar notes that despite the brain's importance, little is known about it, with only the brain of a zebrafish having been fully decoded, which has 100,000 neurons compared to the human brain's 100 billion. The brain's decoding and treatment could be one of humanity's greatest discoveries, with one in three people suffering from a neurological disorder.
Aguilar's goal is to teach the nervous system to repair itself, a breakthrough that would be as significant as or greater than those proposed by Elon Musk's Neuralink, which aims to store and play back memories. Other billionaires, including Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates, are also investing in BCI companies.
