Elon Musk, who is on the world agenda with a new crazy project every year, is extremely popular in the world agenda again this year! Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla Motors and SpaceX, explained that the brain can be connected to computer interfaces with a special integration between the human brain and machines with new generation technologies. This project will be the project of a new company him called Neuralink.
Musk underlined the need for long-term experiments to learn the limits of this new generation technology. The project will begin to be tested on people, but the necessary formal permits are still expected to be obtained in the United States. Neuralink studies so far have been done on monkeys and primates. According to the research results, it was possible to connect the brain to a computer interface and manage it from there. This news, which surprises the scientific world, may accelerate new generation technologies and artificial intelligence studies.
What Will Neuralink Add to People?
The biggest contribution of this project, which Elon Musk has been talking about in recent times, can be for paralyzed or disabled people. Individuals who cannot use their bodies fully will be able to communicate with other people or perform basic life functions more easily through such computer interfaces.
What Does the Neuralink Device Look Like?
The device, which has extremely advanced technology, has 3 thousand electrodes on it. Electrodes have the ability to monitor the activity of 1000 neurons in a single area at the same time and transmit them to the computer interface. The only feature of the system is not to monitor and transfer data to the interface as it is. The system operates with a machine learning mechanism and this artificial learning enables the analysis of the acquired information.
