Brain-computer interface tech is hitting an inflection point. Production is ramping up to high volume next year, with surgical procedures getting stripped down to near-total automation by 2026. Here's what matters: the device threads can now penetrate the dura membrane directly—no need to surgically remove it first. That's a massive efficiency gain. Fewer complications, faster deployment, lower barriers to adoption. This kind of procedural breakthrough tends to accelerate the whole timeline from niche research to mainstream application. Worth tracking as the space evolves.
