Bridging biology and AI for human enhancement
Merge Labs is a research lab dedicated to bridging biological and artificial intelligence to enhance human ability, agency, and experience. The lab is focused on developing innovative brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that interact with the brain at high bandwidth while ensuring safety and accessibility for all users. By leveraging recent advancements in biotechnology, hardware, neuroscience, and computing, Merge Labs aims to create non-invasive technologies that connect with neurons using molecules instead of traditional electrodes. These technologies will utilize modalities like ultrasound to transmit and receive information without the need for implants. The vision is to create BCIs that seamlessly integrate biology, devices, and AI, ultimately benefiting individuals with injuries or diseases and expanding human capabilities. Merge Labs is committed to sharing progress and tools with the wider community to foster discovery and innovation in this field.
