Automation for Human Bodies

Map the technological, clinical, and ethical challenges of building systems that connect the human nervous system to robots or computers. Cover use cases such as assistive devices, rehabilitation, surgery, and industrial control. Then discuss what must be proven before such systems become trusted at scale: safety, accuracy, latency, privacy, regulation, and cost. Finally, propose a framework for deciding when a brain-computer or mind-controlled interface is a medical tool, a consumer product, or a public-risk technology.
