China Plans Broader Push to Develop Tech Like Elon Musk’s Neuralink

(Bloomberg) — China said Monday that it plans to task a committee with drafting standards to guide the use of brain-computer interfaces — a sign that the country intends to step up its own development of this emerging technology.

China will invite relevant industrial and technical experts from enterprises, research institutes, universities and other industries to work on a series of standards including brain information encoding and decoding, data communication, and data visualization, according to the plan issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
