Tether CEO: Blackrock Neurotech, the brain-computer interface company, is much more advanced than Neuralink

Odaily Planet Daily News Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said that Blackrock Neurotech, a brain-computer interface company backed by Tether, is much more advanced than Musk's Neuralink. In April 2024, Tether made a strategic investment of $200 million in Blackrock Neurotech and became the company's majority shareholder. Blackrock Neurotech was founded by scientists and brain-computer interface pioneers Dr. Florian Solzbacher and Marcus Gerhardt at the University of Utah in 2008. Tether said at the time that using Blackrock Neurotech's technology, patients can operate robotic arms, manipulate wheelchairs, send messages, surf the Internet, and even drive cars-all of which can be achieved simply by the power of thought.
