Brief

Sarah Guo says human experience is grounded in brain electrical activity and that BCI is resurging as backable engineering (post dated 2026-08-01). She highlights active hardware areas — silent-speech, glasses, ultrasound, deeper research — and credits AI (interactive models, translation layers, predictors of perturbation effects) for accelerating progress toward 'silently thinking' with AI.

Why it matters

Author Sarah Guo (post dated 2026-08-01) argues that our experience of reality is mediated by brain electrical activity and that brain–computer interfaces (BCI) are becoming investable engineering again.

Key details

  • Guo names concrete hardware and research directions now in vogue: silent-speech interfaces, BCI-enabled glasses, ultrasound devices, and deeper fundamental research, driven forward by AI components like interaction models, translation architectures, and predictors of how neural perturbations reshape experience — concluding we will eventually 'silently think at (with?) the AI.'
Source evidence

Our entire experience of reality is mediated by electrical activity in the brain. I’m inspired by BCI becoming increasingly, backable engineering, pulled forward by AI: models we interact with, translation architectures, and predictors of how perturbations reshape experience.

BCI and new hardware is suddenly back in vogue (silent speech, glasses, ultrasound devices, deeper research) but it should be. We will absolutely eventually just silently think at (with?) the AI
