Meet Max Hodak: Ex-Neuralink veteran leading $1.5 bn startup to make Brain Computer Interfaces safe

When it comes to Brain Computer Interface (BCI), Elon Musk’s Neuralink is the prominent name that comes up almost instantly. The firm has had success with human brain implants, promising to change the way humans interact with digital interfaces. Max Hodak was one of the many biomedical engineers in Neuralink working on the technology, but he had a different goal. For almost two decades, Hodak wanted to create reliable, high-bandwidth links between the human brain and machines, ones that felt natural.
