Neuralink: Elon Musk’s Neuralink firm has announced that it is currently taking applications from human participants who want to have its experimental N1 computer interface implanted in their brains.
Neuralink now accepting applications for human trials
The FDA approved human trials for the firm earlier this year, but it has received heavy criticism for suspected animal abuse, safety dangers, and overly ambitious claims. Musk claims that the brain chip interface would one day restore mobility in severe spinal injuries, cure Parkinson’s disease, and keep humans relevant in an AI-dominated society.
PRIME (Precise Robotically Implanted Brain-Computer Interface), Neuralink’s first-in-human project, is piquing the attention of those suffering from quadriplegia caused by cervical spinal cord injury or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). They must also be at least 22 years old and have a steady and dependable carer.
How will it work?
A Utah Array, a sophisticated grid of ultra-thin probes placed into the patient’s brain by Neuralink’s specialised robot R1, is used in the technology. Neuralink’s technology requires a robotic keyhole surgical operation. The technology will transform the brain’s electrical signals into digital orders, basically acting as a high-tech intermediary between mind and machine.
