Charting Paths for Neural Tech: A Case Study Implicating Neuralink

Abstract

Brain implants are a technology long implicated with concern to humanity. If one asks, what would be a therapeutic reasoning besides enacting control over a person’s brain, they need not look further than the cochlear implant. Such a device is used to permit an auditory sense for individuals affected by loss of hearing in situations where it is deemed the only solution. A case study of modern neural technology is presented here as a scope with socio-cultural analysis, ethics, governance, industry, and the modern market in mind. Activities by Neuralink are described with considerations relevant to the society of the United States in which the company resides. The efforts of this study seek to provide a comprehensive outlook to assist with guiding the future of research practice in neural technology.
