Future brain-computer interface technologies are moving towards being fully implantable and wireless to reduce infection risks associated with percutaneous ports.

“Yeah, it's a really good question and that's what the main problem with this early prototype um BCI and it's our group. There's other groups around the world that are using similar things primarily to show if you know it's possible actually to decode brain activity for uh useful purposes. So what's happening right now in the field is a lot of these technologies are now going to become wireless over time. But you're absolutely right. One of the main reasons is that we want to move away from the perccutaneous. We want to move away from the ports which are infection risks uh on top of other problems and uh move to things that are fully implantable uh fully wireless.”
