Neuralink Blindsight or The vOICe? Informed consent means that Neuralink's blind patients at least know of The vOICe vision BCI https://www.artificialvision.com/neuralink.htm Note: bone conduction stereo earbuds can be hidden in the legs of smart glasses for the blind; #BCI #NeuroTech #neuroscience
