Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Neuralink, Elon Musk’s brain implant startup, set to begin human trials
Founded in 2016 by Elon Musk, Neuralink is a neurotechnology company that is developing brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), which could allow people to control computers and other devices with their minds. The BCI is also designed to treat a variety of neurological disorders, such as blindness, depression, and paralysis. Now, the company is recruiting paralysis patients for its first human clinical trial. Trial patients will be surgically placed a chip by a robot in the part of the brain that controls the intention to move. If successful, the patient may be able to control a computer cursor or keyboard only with their thoughts. If you saw the experiment, you might think it is done by telekinesis. And if Neuralink is connected to Starlink, Elon Musk’s satellite internet constellation, you might be able to operate a computer or machine with your mind from a hospital room or prison cell on the other side of the Earth.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about another “link” approach by Elon Musk.
