Within the next decade, we are likely to see a new kind of implant, designed for healthy people who want to merge with machines.
Schalk is a champion of the ECoG implant because, unlike other devices,  it does not pierce brain tissue; instead it can ride on top of the  brain-blood barrier, sensing the activity of populations of neurons and  passing their chatter to the outside world, like a radio signal. Schalk  says this is the brain implant most likely to evolve into a consumer  product.
“The burr hole in the skull will be small,” Schalk told me enthusiastically, as if urging me to get one of the plugs.
