The presentation features Bradford Smith, a person living with ALS, sharing his personal experience with Neuralink’s brain-computer interface technology. He describes how the tiny implant reads brain electrical signals and translates them into actionable commands, enabling greater independence and communication despite severe motor limitations. He’ll highlight the transformative potential of this neurotechnology for individuals with paralysis and neurodegenerative conditions. Presentation will be with assistive technology using presenters voice recreated through AI.
