Hear why Science Corp CEO Max Hodak says the screen era is ending at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026

听听 Science Corp 首席执行官 Max Hodak 为何在 TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 大会上宣称“屏幕时代”即将终结

When you imagine working with a computer, you likely think of keyboards, clicks, or typing on your phone. Science Corporation CEO Max Hodak has spent the last several months advancing a different vision. His company has enlisted a top neurobiologist to lead the first U.S. human trials for its biohybrid brain-computer interface. 当你想象使用电脑工作时,你可能会想到键盘、点击或在手机上打字。Science Corporation 首席执行官 Max Hodak 在过去几个月里一直在推进一种不同的愿景。他的公司已聘请了一位顶尖神经生物学家,负责领导其生物混合脑机接口在美国的首次人体试验。

Hodak shares what his company has discovered so far with the 10,000+ tech leaders, founders, and investors at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026. At his Beyond Screens session on the Disrupt Stage, Hodak will make the case for why the next era of technology could be built upon a different kind of interface, one that adapts to us from brain-computer interactions to create new ways of engaging with machines. 在 TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 大会上,Hodak 向 10,000 多名科技领袖、创始人和投资者分享了其公司的最新发现。在 Disrupt 舞台的“超越屏幕”(Beyond Screens)环节中,Hodak 将阐述为什么下一个技术时代可以建立在一种不同的交互界面之上——这种界面通过脑机交互来适应人类,从而创造出与机器互动的新方式。

Hodak’s path toward reinventing interfaces

Hodak 重塑交互界面的历程

Hodak’s career reads like a running bet that the interface between humans and machines has plenty of room for improvement. Having started programming at six years old, he studied biomedical engineering at Duke Pratt School of Engineering, and worked his way into Miguel Nicolelis’ brain-computer interface lab, interests that inform his work to this day. Hodak 的职业生涯就像是一场持续的赌注,他坚信人机交互界面仍有巨大的改进空间。他 6 岁就开始编程,后来在杜克大学普拉特工程学院学习生物医学工程,并进入 Miguel Nicolelis 的脑机接口实验室工作,这些兴趣至今仍影响着他的工作。

He originally co-founded Transcriptic, a robotic cloud laboratory for the life sciences. But most famously, he co-founded Neuralink in 2016 and served as its initial president, helping build the company that put brain implants into the public imagination. Then in 2021, he founded Science Corporation to develop advanced neural engineering and brain-computer interface technology. 他最初联合创办了 Transcriptic,一家面向生命科学的机器人云实验室。但他最出名的事迹是于 2016 年联合创办了 Neuralink 并担任首任总裁,帮助这家公司将脑机植入技术带入了公众视野。随后在 2021 年,他创立了 Science Corporation,旨在开发先进的神经工程和脑机接口技术。

The company has a particular focus on applications to aid those in need of help with vision, cognition, and mobility. And it’s not all speculation: Science Corp’s PRIMA implant has already restored eyesight in people with severe vision loss, using a pair of glasses with a tiny camera that beams a captured scene onto a chip implanted in the retina. 该公司特别关注那些在视觉、认知和行动能力方面需要帮助的人群。这并非空谈:Science Corp 的 PRIMA 植入物已经帮助严重视力受损的人恢复了视力,其原理是利用一副带有微型摄像头的眼镜,将捕捉到的场景投射到植入视网膜的芯片上。

Since its founding, it’s raised $230 million in a Series C round at a $1.5 billion valuation, and the company’s ambitions go beyond interfaces. Hodak sees additional applications of Science Corp’s brain-implanted sensors helping heal damaged brain cells, warning about seizures, and maybe even helping treat conditions as severe as Parkinson’s disease. 自成立以来,该公司已完成 C 轮融资,筹集了 2.3 亿美元,估值达到 15 亿美元。公司的雄心远不止于交互界面。Hodak 认为 Science Corp 的脑植入传感器还有更多应用前景,例如帮助修复受损的脑细胞、预警癫痫发作,甚至可能有助于治疗帕金森病等严重疾病。
