Collaboratively designed protocols can set the rules for how devices communicate and how neural information is logged onchain, ensuring that equipment from any maker remains compatible. Token mechanisms can drive researchers to advance decoding techniques, bolster privacy, and underwrite independent security assessments. Consent-driven data commons, protected with zero-knowledge encryption, can supply vast anonymized resources for discovery without exposing personal neural signatures.
Regulation has a role, but widespread involvement fuels the movement. From developers creating mind-controlled games to artists composing music from brainwaves and clinicians crafting neurofeedback therapies, participants become co-owners in a transparent, collectively governed network.
