Yes, it may not go mainstream, I might not even see it in my lifetime. But I think to get the bandwidth needed BCI will always have to be invasive. The best case would be like the minimally invasive surgeries today, a small hole is drilled in your skull so they can roll up some super thin sheet of electrodes to be attached to your brain. Also in the best case I would imagine it's not a computer that's getting implanted, but an interface, so I can just send data out to offload anything thinking or memory. The human brain has a max IO bandwidth, as long as the BCI I get can saturate that bandwidth, I won't need surgeries to keep upgrading it.
