Neuralink

Popular Billionaire, Elon Musk just revealed a vital update about Neuralink. Elon Musk took to his platform X, formally known as Twitter revealing they have completed the first human trails for Neuralink and it is successful. Meaning they have successfully put a chip in a humans brain that actually functions. The first Neuralink product is going to be known as “Telepathy”.

In his tweet, Musk said: “The first human receiving an implant from @Neuralink yesterday is recovering well. Initial results show promising neuron spike detection”

“The first @Neuralink product is called Telepathy”

“Enables Control of your phone or computer, and through them almost any device, just by thinking”. Initial users will be those who have lost the use of their limbs. Imagine if Stephen Hawking could communicate faster than a speed typist or auctioner. That is the goal”.


About Neuralink brain chip


For a better understanding of this context, let me explain what Neuralink brain chip is. So it is a device which is the size of a coin surgically implanted in the skull with thin wires going into the brain which creates a brain-computer interface. It registers brain activity, neural signals and intent and sends it over to a device be it smartphone or a PC. Neuralink said in the past its main goal is for humans to be able to control a computer cursor or a keyboard through thoughts alone. This procedure (implanting these chips surgically) is done by robots and not actual humans.


It has been tested on monkeys before and based on what was revealed, it was functional but human trails were needed for Neuralink to better test its products. To also add, the chip has to be charged. Last year (November 3, 2023), Neuralink revealed the chip will be chargeable without any external cords/cables (wired cable) placed on the heads of its users. It will be 100% wireless and distance will also vary.


Closure


As of the moment it is unknown if this chip will be able to control thought process but it is not farfetched. It is also unknown if these chops will require a subscription pass and will be able to psychically advertise products since it is linked to a server. Another issue might be overheating of the battery since the chips placed runs on battery that frequently needs to be recharged and it can be hacked. Nevertheless, this procedure might be beneficial to people with major health issues, for instance those on a coma.
