Are brain implants the future of computing?
Synopsis
Peter Scott Morgan allowed surgeons to implant various chips into his body in hopes of extending his life, living for four more years until his death in 2022.
Synopsis
At the headquarters of Vario in Finland, a team develops a virtual reality headset that uses advanced eye-tracking technology to enhance user interaction with computer-generated worlds. The documentary discusses brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and their potential to allow users to control devices through thought. It features Peter Scott Morgan, who underwent surgeries to implant chips in his body to combat motor neurone disease, extending his life until 2022. The film addresses the challenges of BCI technology and the future of computing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a brain computer interface?
A brain computer interface (BCI) is a technology that allows the brain to directly interface with computers by reading out signals from the brain.
What are the two types of brain computer interfaces?
The two types of BCIs are non-invasive, which use portable devices to read brain activity, and invasive, which involve surgical implants.
Who was Peter Scott Morgan and what did he do?
Peter Scott Morgan suffered from motor neurone disease and allowed surgeons to implant various chips into his body in hopes of extending his life.
