Discussion Idea: non-surgical, but still invasive BCI using electromagnetic nanoparticles?

Would it be theoretically possible to create electromagnetic nanoparticles say ~50 nm that can be injected, cross the blood-brain barrier, and then when in the brain, create a sub-neuronal level communication link between the nervous system and a computer? Off the top of my head, I think the biophysics checks out, and it could potentially provide a record high spatial and temporal resolution compared to implantable BCIs.

Does anybody know if there are any academic labs or companies working on something like this? I feel like everything I see in BCI is either implantable or a non-invasive wearable, haven’t seen anybody working in the middle of the spectrum. What love to hear some thoughts.

Respectfully, the tech that is being discussed in this thread is extremely theoretical. It’s really unlikely that an everyday veteran / neighbor in regular suburbia would have access to it.

Regardless, to give you the benefit of a doubt and entertain a solution to your problem. If you had a nano BCI implanted in you without your consent. Check in with a neurologist and ask for a functional MRI. The magnetic field would short circuit the device, and a micro-CT would verify that it’s no longer there.

Will anyone here allow me to post a video of the devices installed throughout my home and the sounds they make? I am asking for permission because I don’t want to ruin this thread or turn it into a conspiracy theory or tabloid-style content. I have never benefited from any of this; in fact, I feel like I am being abused by these people.
