Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Elon Musk's Neuralink 'shows monkey playing Pong with mind'
Did you know that a monkey can play video Pong with a joystick just like humans? Well, it’s actually no new news there. Yes. Monkeys can play such video games without difficulty. But can they play it with their mind? To your surprise, yes. That is what a US brain interface firm Neuralink, which is funded by Elon Musk and others in 2016, has recently shown. Instead of wiring the brain and other devices, Neuralink’s technology sends brain signals wirelessly via an implanted device. So, you’ll see no abnormality with the monkey playing the video game. In fact, this wireless application is new and innovative as it could improve the safety of human applications, which Musk is aiming to give those who have physical impairments the chance to communicate or interact with others and devices.
Will humans be part of the IoT, Internet of Things, soon like science fiction novels? Well, it often takes only decades to make the imaginable possible.
First, enjoy watching how the monkey plays the Pong with his hand and without.
