      Brain-Computer Interfaces
      Jan 9 2026

      Mind control—it’s often thought of as a science fiction trope, borne from fears of body snatchers or domineering overlords. But what if we’re thinking about the term the wrong way? Maybe we should be considering the reverse. This week on Health Wanted, we talk about how brain-computer interfaces are expanding the possibilities for our minds to control our worlds, including an interview with Dr. Chethan Pandarinath of the Systems Neural Engineering Lab.

      Plus: an update on the flu season. Does the Shingrix vaccine protect against cancer? And what the new CDC immunization recommendations mean for vaccine access.
