Elon Musk’s company Neuralink has been working on brain-computer interface technologies for quite some time. Last year, the company implanted a chip into a human brain, and in recent days, the project has been making positive progress.
Person with brain chip used computer with thought power!
A person with the Neuralink chip implanted is using a computer mouse with their thoughts. Neuralink pressed the button for its first human clinical trials in September. Musk’s team, inspired by science fiction movies, has been conducting research on the person with the Neuralink chip implanted for quite some time.
Elon Musk recently announced that the person’s health condition, who had the Neuralink chip implanted, is good. Musk disclosed that in a Spaces event on a social media platform, the person in the experiment can move the computer mouse on the screen just by thinking.
Here are his statements:
“The progress is good, and the patient seems to have fully recovered with the neural effects we are aware of. The patient can move the computer mouse on the screen just by thinking.”
Neuralink, a company that has been working on brain-computer interface technologies, has frequently been in the spotlight. Its main goal is to connect the human brain directly with computers to facilitate interaction between the brain and artificial intelligence. Initially, it aims to achieve this by treating neurological diseases with the implant it has developed.
While the company claims its primary goal is to cure paralyzed patients, many people find this project quite dangerous, despite obtaining the necessary permits for such a move in May of last year.
