Neurotech at scale in the Metaverse

Abstract: Recent rapid growth in the neurotechnology sector and in brain-computer interface research could create wonders. It may also presage pitfalls, not only for end users of these technologies, but for many scientists and startups whose efforts risk running down blind alleys and into dead ends. In this talk I will survey the landscape of emerging brain-machine interfaces, with an emphasis on building and proving out consumer scale technologies and how these might (and do) interact with virtual worlds and robotics.
