Neurotech is evolving fast—yet regulation isn’t keeping pace. As history shows, abandoned implants and unsupported devices can leave patients with more risks than benefits. With only ~60 people implanted as of 2024, the time to build safeguards is now. knowingneurons.com/blog/2025/05/0…

While mental illness is often cited as a cause of homelessness, the reality is far more complex: life on the streets can create or worsen neuropsychological disorders through chronic stress, trauma, and isolation. knowingneurons.com/blog/2025/05/1…

As experimental BCIs move from lab to life, participants are facing an unthinkable reality: losing devices that became part of who they are. Some describe it as losing autonomy. Others, a piece of themselves. knowingneurons.com/blog/2025/05/1…
