- Neuralink’s technology is capable of recording and decoding neural signals.
- The coin-sized brain chip has neural threads that spread out to different parts of the brain.
- Neuralink brain implants could be used to treat neurological conditions.
Ever imagined controlling someone or something by just thinking? It sounds like a scene from a movie, doesn’t it? Well, it is no longer fictional, as Neuralink has made it possible.
What Is Neuralink?
Neuralink is a technology company that builds devices designed to connect human brains directly with computers. It implanted its brain chip in the first human patient on January 28. Confirming the successful implantation, businessman and owner of Neuralink, Elon Musk, stated, “Initial results show promising neuron spike detection.”
“[Neuralink’s technology] is capable of recording and decoding neural signals and then transmitting information back to the brain using electrical stimulation,” said Ramses Alcaide, CEO of Neurable, a neurotech company developing non-invasive brain-computer interfaces in the form of headphones.
