Essentials: Neuralink & Technologies to Enhance Human Brains | Dr. Matt MacDougall

Dr. Matthew MacDougall, a neurosurgeon at Neuralink, explains how brain-machine interfaces can let people with paralysis control computers through intended movements. They cover robotic surgery for placing tiny brain electrodes, implant safety, and advances in brain tumor surgery. The talk also looks at how brains and software adapt together, animal research, and future uses like restoring movement and supporting mental health.
