💬 Message to Learners

{'encouragement': "You're learning about technology that could give us wireless windows into the nervous system - anywhere in the body, for years at a time, without wires or batteries.", 'reminder': 'This technology is still in early research stages, but the progress from concept (2013) to working prototype (2016) was remarkably fast. The next decade could see major advances.', 'action': 'Deploy neural dust in the simulator. See how ultrasound powers and communicates with the implants. Understand why this approach is revolutionary.', 'dream': 'An engineer from Kenya might solve the miniaturization problem. A neuroscientist from Nigeria might discover new therapeutic applications. The neural interface revolution needs global participation.', 'wiaVision': 'WIA Pin Code believes understanding neural interfaces should not be limited to researchers in wealthy institutions. The future of human-machine integration affects all of humanity.'}
