Brain Implants – Blessing for patients – Superpowers for all? | Martin Schuettler | TEDxFreiburg

Imagine a world where the loss of abilities does not mark the end but rather the beginning of something greater. A world where people with paralysis can walk again, and the blind can regain their sight. But it doesn’t stop there: in this world, we can not only recover lost functions but also acquire new abilities—superpowers we’ve only seen in science fiction movies. At the end of his electrical engineering studies, Martin Schüttler (*1972) became interested in neurotechnology. After completing his diploma thesis and doctorate in this field at the Fraunhofer IBMT and postdoctoral stays in England and Australia, he joined IMTEK in Freiburg in 2005, from where he co-founded CorTec in 2010 with the aim of developing implantable brain-computer interfaces and making them available to patients. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
