Creating the Singularity where is neuromodulation taking us

Dr. Tim Deer explores the concept of singularity in neuromodulation—where technological growth becomes exponential and irreversible. He challenges the idea of hardware unification across companies and instead reframes singularity as a coming wave of revolutionary innovation. Highlighting breakthroughs in neurorestoration, brain-computer interfaces, optogenetics, and AI-driven performance enhancement, he envisions a future where neuromodulation reshapes mobility, cognition, and memory. From paralyzed patients walking again to implantable memory-enhancing technologies, Dr. Deer outlines how these advancements could transform pain management, disability care, and human potential—while cautioning about ethical implications and the “tribal” limitations of device brand loyalty.
