Neurotech and Telepathic Payment:
Technologies That Could Transform the Future

“Neurotech” Lets You Control Everything with Your Mind

Neurotechnology is about studying, analyzing, and interacting with the human nervous system and brain. Combining neuroscience with cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and brain-computer interfaces (BCI), neurotech is continuously evolving, with applications spanning various fields. A prime example is Elon Musk’s Neuralink, which is developing Neural Implants — brain chips that enable direct connectivity between the brain and computers or the internet. In the medical and healthcare sector, BCI is being used to help paralyzed patients control robotic limbs or type messages using brain signals. Moreover, several inventors are integrating neurotech into the development of devices that are designed to analyze stress, depression, and emotional states through brain signals, paving the way for a better understanding of human emotions. Neurotech, moreover, contributes to gadgets that could stimulate the brain for better concentration, memory, and learning efficiency. In fact, this innovation even has a role in VR game development as the next-gen games may enable players to control characters with via brain signals.

Looking ahead, experts predict the rise of Hybrid Intelligence, where human brains are directly connected to AI, significantly accelerating information processing. Furthermore, advancements in Mind-Reading Technology could enable the real-time translation of brain signals into text or commands. If fully developed, Neurotech could redefine human interaction with technology, but concerns remain regarding ethics, privacy, and security—especially the risk of brain data hacking. Without stringent regulations, unauthorized access to neural information could become a major issue.

“Telepathic Transaction” is Possible with Neurotech

One of the most anticipated applications of Neurotech is in financial transactions, where payments could be made through thought alone—without the need for physical contact or devices. This concept, which has gained traction in the Fintech industry, explores ways to integrate brain signals into financial transactions. A key approach involves using Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) to interpret brain signals as commands for digital payments. The vision for Telepathic Payments involves linking digital wallets to BCI, enabling users to authorize transactions through thought alone. Additionally, blockchain technology could be integrated to enhance security and transparency in telepathic transactions.

While Telepathic Transactions are not yet a reality, experts predict that within 10 to 20 years, initial trials could begin. If telepathic transactions can really be conducted one day, it is extremely necessary to address security concerns. Reading brain signals, after all, may lead to unintentional transactions and be vulnerable to hacking. Therefore, there must be legal protections in place for thought-based transactions.

Examples of Neurotech Applications

• Elon Musk’s Neuralink has developed “N1 Implant” or a brain chip that directly connects human brains to a computer, allowing paralyzed patients to control a computer or an electronic device via their mind.
• Kernel has invented “Kernel Flow”, a helmet-like device that studies brain functions such as memory, creativity, and mental states without the need of an implant, in support of neuroscience and mental health research.

Blackrock Neurotech has created a BCI-based invention, “NeuroPort Array,” for the rehabilitation of paralyzed patients. Backed by AI, it enables users to control robotic limbs or type messages through telepathy.
