“…First, thanks to the success of deep brain stimulation, there is an ever-increasing number of people who live for extended periods of time with chronic electrode implants in their brains. This development goes hand-in-hand with invasive neurophysiological recordings that provide resolution at the level of single neurons becoming increasingly commonplace in human neurological patients (Aquino et al, 2020;Isik, Singer, Madsen, Kanwisher, & Kreiman, 2018;Kreiman, Koch, & Fried, 2000;Pryluk, Kfir, Gelbard-Sagiv, Fried, & Paz, 2019;Rees, Kreiman, & Koch, 2002;Rutishauser et al, 2013;Rutishauser et al, 2015). Given this trend, it seems increasingly likely that we are facing a future where neurophysiological implants are used in healthy individuals (Musk, 2019).…”
