The race to merge minds and machines is heating up! 🔥
Oxley, whose U.S.-based company recently partnered with Apple 🍏, revealed how BCI could team up with AI to revolutionize everything from healthcare to gaming. "It’s not just about restoring mobility for patients," he told CGTN. "Think next-gen education tools or immersive virtual experiences." 🎮📚
