🧠 China is stepping up its game in the brain-computer interface (BCI) race, aiming to outsmart Elon Musk's Neuralink and other western tech giants. The nation has formed a committee to set nationwide standards for BCI development. For those who've been living under a rock, BCIs translate brain signals into computer-friendly language. They've been around since the 70s, but Musk's Neuralink has brought them into the limelight. China's ambitions don't stop at matching Neuralink's tech, they're also eyeing cognitive enhancement. Meanwhile, Neuralink has hit a speed bump, postponing a scheduled implant operation due to medical concerns. Zuckerberg's Meta is also in the game, working on a non-invasive BCI. Let the brain games begin!
