Elon Musk’s brain-computer interface company Neuralink has made a development reminiscent of science fiction movies. A person implanted with a Neuralink chip was able to control a computer mouse with just the power of thought.
Neuralink’s First Human Trial Successful!
Neuralink conducted its first human clinical trial in September and implanted a chip in a person’s brain. Elon Musk announced that the person in the experiment is in good health and thanks to the chip called “telepathy”, he can move the computer mouse just by thinking.
Statement from Musk:
“Progress is good and the patient seems to be fully recovered with neural effects that we are aware of. The patient can move the computer mouse on the screen just by thinking.”
Neuralink’s Goal:
Neuralink’s main goal is to connect the human brain directly with computers to enable interaction between the brain and artificial intelligence. It wants to achieve this by treating neurological diseases with the implant it has developed in the first place.
A Glimmer of Hope for Paralyzed Patients:
Neuralink’s move is seen as a great beacon of hope for paralyzed patients. Although the company says that its main goal is to find ways to cure paralyzed patients, many people find this project quite dangerous.
Mixed reactions:
Neuralink’s experiment has caused a stir in the world of science and technology. While some experts described this development as “something out of a science fiction movie”, others expressed concerns about ethics and security.
Neuralink’s experiment is considered an important milestone in brain-computer interface technology. It remains to be seen how this development will change the medical and technological landscape in the future.
