Max Hodak, founder and CEO of Science Corp, appeared at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, where he discussed the company's work on brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and related technologies. He described the retina as part of the central nervous system and noted that cochlear implants, retinal prostheses, and motor prostheses are all types of BCIs. Hodak stated that Science Corp does not primarily identify as a BCI company, clarifying that its focus is not on speech or computer control applications, but rather on other areas such as interhemispheric biohybrid neural interfaces. Hodak also explained the company's approach to vision restoration, saying that vision is electrical activity down the optic nerve and that if the optic nerve can be made to signal the brain correctly, vision can be provided regardless of why the rods and cones failed. He contrasted this device-based approach with drug development, which requires understanding the molecular causes of cell death. The event's closing remarks noted Hodak's appearance as part of a discussion on technology interacting directly with the human body.
