This prize should help him and his colleagues Ion Opris (a neuroscientist at the University of Miami) and Manuel Casanova (a doctor at the University of South Carolina) to hold an international conference on this topic next year. The publication Singularity talked with Lebedev to find out about his opinion on the development of this area. Is there any justification for the hype on neuronal implants and brain additions that we observe? In the next 10 years we will see the emergence of realistic prostheses of all kinds and a variety of technologies for the rehabilitation of stroke and spinal cord trauma. The way it is described in these high-profile articles - like the fact that a person will learn to print with the power of thought and receive several million electrodes implanted in the brain - all this will happen, but in 20 years. I can be wrong, because new technologies are developing rapidly. If 10 years ago it was normal to insert a half-millimeter electrode into the brain, they are now nanoscale. Of course, decoding brain activity will remain a problem for a long time.
