Elon Musk’s brain chip manufacturing company Neuralink has successfully implanted a chip in the human brain. Musk announced this on Twitter.
Neuralink, Elon Musk’s business that manufactures brain chips, has successfully implanted a chip into a human brain. Musk made this announcement on Twitter. The patient whose brain the chip was implanted in is getting better, according to Musk’s statement. Let us remind you that the business was granted clearance by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to test its chip on humans only a year ago.
Elon Musk posted the information
In his post, Musk stated that you can operate your computer, phone, and nearly any other gadget just by thinking about it. Neuralink, Musk’s startup, had begun accepting patients a while back for brain implantation. Elon Musk, the billionaire founder of Neuralink, revealed that the first person to receive an implant from the brain-chip business underwent surgery on Sunday and is now recuperating.
The first individual received the implant from @Neuralink yesterday and is healing nicely, according to a tweet made by Musk on X. The US Food and Drug Administration gave Neuralink permission last year to carry out the first human implant experiment.
The first Neuralink product is being called Telepathy. Just by thinking about it, it enables control of your phone or computer and almost any device through them. The initial users will be those who have lost the use of their limbs. Imagine if Stephen Hawking could talk faster than a speed typist and that’s what it aims to do.
Testing was approved last year
According to Musk’s article, “Early results show promising neuron spikes.” Neuralink’s website states that the impartial Institutional Review Board has approved it. On the company’s website, the PRIME study (short for Precise Robotically Implanted Brain-Computer Interface) describes itself as an investigational medical device trial for a fully implantable, wireless brain-computer interface (BCI) with the goal of enhancing implant performance (N1) and assessing surgical robot safety (R1). It also aims to evaluate the initial functionality of our BCI, which will allow individuals with disabilities to control external devices with their thoughts.
The purpose of the chip is to record brain signals.
The N1 implant’s incredibly thin and flexible threads will be surgically inserted into the part of the brain that regulates movement intention using the R1 robot. The N1 implant is designed to wirelessly record and send brain signals to an app; once put, it is undetectable from a cosmetic standpoint. Our BCIs are first intended to enable individuals to operate a computer cursor or keyboard solely with their minds.
