Brain research: "That would be one of the greatest discoveries of humanity"
With her start-up Inbrain, Carolina Aguilar develops brain-computer interfaces - similar to Sam Altman and Elon Musk. In an interview, she says her dream is actually bigger than Musk's.
Brain-Computer-Interfaces (BCI) expert Frau Aguilar discusses the potential of direct brain-computer connections to revolutionize understanding of the brain. The human brain, with 100 billion neurons, remains largely a mystery, unlike the brain of the Zebrafish, which has been fully decoded and has 100,000 neurons. Aguilar's goal is to enable the nervous system to self-repair, a breakthrough that could help the one in three people suffering from neurological disorders.
This area of research has drawn significant investment from billionaires including Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Bill Gates, who see its potential as a major discovery for humanity.
