If Neuralink can prove its device is safe in humans, it would still potentially take more than a decade for the start-up to secure commercial use approval

The device decodes the brain’s signals and brings movement back to the legs

Neural interfaces facilitating communication between the brain and machines must be compatible with the soft, curvilinear, and elastic tissues of the brain and yet yield enough power to read and write information across a wide range of brain areas through high-throughput recordings or optogenetics. …

Community Description/Sidebar:
Community for transhumanists, discussion of transhumanism, news about transhumanism-adjacent technologies, information on related technologies, transhumanist philosophy, and things you are doing now personally or in an organisation to push forward the technology and political foundations for transhumanism.
Definition of transhumanism I'm using:
The promotion of widespread access to - and development of - technology to alter, improve (by your own definitions), integrate with, or completely replace your body and control your very identity, in the name of self-determination and autonomy - up to and including immortality and total digitization, but not only that!
Also, an exploration of the consequences of the types of development associated with transhumanism and the positive and negative responses to it.
I actually use a more philosophical definition personally but this is close enough to what I think transhumanism is.
Community rules:
Given that this is also hosted on a somewhat infosec oriented instance (infosec.pub), I hope we can discuss some of the privacy aspects of transhumanism and related tech too :)

This is just a general welcome post for this community.
It's intended to be a space for autistic people to talk about their experiences - positive and negative - with pride and self worth, where we don't have to deal with the kind of infantilization and abuse so common in other communities, or be spoken over by Autism Parents™ about ABA.
Share about your special interests, stimming, things you like. As well as your struggles. Of course, remembering to not leak personal details.
It's also intended to be a community inclusive of self-diagnosed people.
This has no affiliation with the subreddit r/AutisticPride or it's mod, but it is intended for similar content.
This community is explicitly part of broader neurodivergency stuff. I'm still not that familiar with things like moderation on Lemmy (just came over from reddit ^.^), and I don't really have time or energy to be an actual mod. I just want to kickstart a community and once it reaches approximately 100 members we can collectively decide on a moderation strategy and team (unless there is consensus on doing so earlier).
