Masks’ company was given the go-ahead last year by US health regulators for the experimental application. The aim was to cure the paralyzed patient.
Elon Musk announced the first brain chip implantation in the human body. He said that his start-up company Neuralink has made experimental applications in the human brain. The initial results are quite impressive. Musk said that the patient is recovering quickly. The brain chip is adapted to the brain. Which will play an important role in curing the disease. However, Musk did not reveal detailed information about this test.
Masks’ company was given the go-ahead last year by US health regulators for the experimental application. The aim was to cure the paralyzed patient. Musk said his company’s goal is to connect the human brain with a computer to solve complex neurological problems. This device made by Neuralink is named ‘Telepathy’. This device can be operated through phone or computer.
At X, Musk explained how the electronic device connects to the brain. Mask also claims that this device is very useful for the disabled. In Musk’s words, “Imagine Stephen Hawking communicating faster than an auctioneer or a typist.”
By sending signals from the brain, messages will be sent to the electronic device – this is how the brain machine will work. Despite the claims of the mask, the question is how safe is this device? Musk’s company was fined earlier this month for violating certain rules of the experimental application.
Professor Anne VanHostenberg of King’s College London said such tests are important for any company that makes medical devices. Such tests have been done before. Many organizations have worked with the brain chip implant community. Few of them have managed to implant such devices in the human body. Ann claims Musk’s company joined that ‘community’.
Anne said that no matter how much the mask publicizes the issue, whether the whole experiment is successful or not, it will be understood after a long time. Earlier, a company in Switzerland has also helped a paralyzed patient to walk by transmitting thoughts to his brain. A company in Utah made the first brain-computer connection in 2004.
However, Musk claims that the brain machine developed by his company can relieve fatigue. It will also heal brain damage. Musk claims that the device is effective in treating diseases like dementia and Parkinson’s. It is also effective in curing complex nervous diseases.
