Integration of a human body with electronic devices has evolved from a science fiction to the next frontier of technological progress.1 The passion of neural interface pioneers was a primary force behind this evolution.- Miniaturization, a surge in computational power, and a decrease in cost of electronics were other contributing factors. A democratization of science with an abundance of inexpensive hardware and open access to scientific and engineering knowledge gave rise to biohacking communities that allowed anybody to build some neurological devices without traditional barriers and oversight/ Technology companies have dived into neurotechnology, fueled by a culture of disruption and substantial capital for R&D. The medical device world is preparing for miniaturized neural implants that will be integrated in real time with diverse flows of data to provide better therapies for a large group of patients.
