What will brain surgery look like in the next decade?
On this episode of The Vitals, host Leslie Schlachter sits down with three leading experts in neurosurgery and neurotechnology: Dr. Joshua Bederson, Dr. Benjamin Rapoport, and Dr. Shahram Majidi. Together, they explore the rapidly evolving landscape of brain surgery, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), artificial intelligence, and neurotechnology, and discuss how these innovations may transform care for patients with paralysis, stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson's disease, and other neurological conditions.
From robotic assistance in the operating room to the possibility of decoding and interacting with the brain's own ”neural code,” this wide-ranging discussion offers a fascinating look at where neuroscience, engineering, and medicine are headed next.
