Interview to Luca Berdondini

Engaging interview to Luca Berdondini, head of the Microtechnology for Neuroelectronics team at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT), who shared groundbreaking insights into brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). Berdondini highlighted the micro-invasive approaches being developed by IIT, including innovative probes and the ambitious European project CROSSBRAIN.
The focus is addressing critical health challenges such as trauma, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s disease. Equally important are the ethical dimensions, including data privacy and the safe removal of these devices—issues that are as essential as the technology itself.
This interview underscores the transformative potential of BCIs to improve lives while reminding us of the responsibility to balance innovation with ethical integrity.
