Experimental N1 brain-computer Elon Musk, the supplier of the interface (BCI) neuralink The company said in a statement on Tuesday Precision Robotic Implanted Brain-Computer Interface announced that it has finally opened registration for the first human experiment study called. The announcement is the company’s latest “show and tell” It arrived almost a year after the event and four months after Musk said it would.
What are Elon Musk and Neuralink up to?
The company said about the study, “It aims to evaluate the safety of our implant (N1) and surgical robot (R1) and to evaluate the initial functionality of our BCI, which allows paralyzed people to control external devices with their thoughts.” So, what does this study aim at and which people can apply as subjects?
Elon Musk’s Learning Kung Fu from SD card This technology, which he points out will be useful as a tool for transhumanistic activities such as “people with quadriplegia (a type of paralysis) due to cervical spinal cord injury or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)” calling. Musk also thinks it is possible to transfer your consciousness to an application and control smart technologies in your home from your mind, for example.
In fact, this last one is the real goal of both the company and the technology. BCIs act as a bridge between the human mind and machines, converting the analog electrical signals of our brain into digital signals that machines can understand.
Elon Musk lost 250 million dollars due to extreme heat!
It was determined that more than 200 Starlink satellites burned down during the summer. The cost of this is 250 million dollars for SpaceX.
Nueralink’s N1 system, unlike rival company Synchron’s Stentroderobotic keyhole surgery It utilizes hair-thin probes composed of the high-accuracy Utah Array (performed by Nerualink’s sewing machine-like R1 robotic surgeon). This array will be placed in the patient’s motor cortex, where it will record the electrical impulses produced by the area.
“The primary goal of our BCI is to give people the ability to control a computer cursor or keyboard using only their thoughts,” the statement reads. Neuralink has been working on the N1 system since 2017 and is one of the first companies in the industry to begin developing a publicly available commercial BCI. However, Neuralink’s work was hampered last year after the company was accused of causing unnecessary suffering and death of dozens of animal test subjects.
