A neutral summary of Hear why Science Corp CEO Max Hodak says the screen era is ending at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, published by TechCrunch. Summarised for the Ceeve reading list; the original reporting is TechCrunch's.

Max Hodak, CEO of Science Corporation, will speak at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 in October about brain-computer interfaces as an alternative to traditional computing. His company has enlisted a neurobiologist to lead the first U.S. human trials for its biohybrid brain-computer interface. Hodak will argue that the next era of technology could be built on interfaces adapted to humans through brain-computer interactions rather than screens.

Science Corporation has already demonstrated practical applications of its technology. The company's PRIMA implant has restored eyesight in people with severe vision loss using a miniature camera that transmits images to a retinal chip. The company raised $230 million in its Series C funding round at a $1.5 billion valuation and is exploring additional uses including healing damaged brain cells, seizure detection, and treating Parkinson's disease.

Hodak co-founded Neuralink in 2016 before establishing Science Corporation in 2021, bringing experience from studying biomedical engineering and working in a brain-computer interface laboratory. His presentation at Disrupt will explore how human-machine interfaces could evolve and their potential impact on startups and industries, a topic particularly relevant to those using Ceeve to tailor their careers toward emerging technology sectors.
