This looks like a much more palatable way to do brain-computer interfaces than the radical surgery techniques some like Neuralink have suggested.
It's interesting to wonder how quickly this might be commercialized. As the article points out, there are many companies around the world trying (with various degrees of success) to bring human-body/electronic interfaces to market, especially for the control of prosthetic limbs.

Do we even need this gel when our bodies are already full of plastic lol. Seriously though, if they can figure out a way to get this on a power source, it could pave the way for fully functional sex robots. Market it like that to get funding.
Anybody play Atomic Heart?
This seems weirdly on the nose
Why would anyone support the Russian invasion by buying that game

buy? lol no one said to buy it.
What we need is substance you could inject and then use to make a high Precision map of the brain... Would be the beginning of making potentially full copies of the human brain which then could be rendered in a compiter someday.
I really need brain computer interfaces I just want to copy the entire human brain and then have it sitting around until be rendered in a computer.
Planet can't really survive if the lifespan of humans is too long...but copying the human brain into a computer would allow you to offer effective imnortalty without needing infinite resources and Dysons spheres and could make longer distance space travel possible because you're 100% tied to your squishy little biological body.
Implants on the others and I don't see really having a huge Market.
Holographic displays and better ways to interact with the computer sure, but the benefit of a neurological implant is going to have to be in the realm of f****** huge to be worth the effort even just injecting gel into your brain whatever that might do.

I wonder if this could be used to treat nerve damage? Or, perhaps, augment soldiers' natural nervous systems to provide quicker reflexes?
