Neuralink: Elon Musk’s Risky Bet
It is incredible to observe how science has advanced so much that the integration between human and machine is no longer a concept from the world of cinema. It could soon become a reality. Elon Musk has a variety of projects to his name, but his company Neuralink seems to be one of his riskiest bets, even though we have already seen its interface in action. After long anticipation, it appears that the company has been granted permission to use patients in the next stages of development for their technology.
FDA Approval for Human Clinical Trials
Recently, Neuralink shared a post on Twitter disclosing that the tech company had been approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) of the United States government, allowing them to proceed with human clinical trials. At the end of last year, Elon Musk had predicted that this experimentation could begin in mid-2021 and it seems that the goal is on track.
The Future of Neuralink
The main goal of Neuralink is to create a device that can be implanted in the human brain to provide a direct connection between the brain and a computer. This device, known as the Neuralink Link, will be able to monitor the neural activity of the brain and provide data to the computer. The device will also be able to stimulate the neurons in the brain, allowing for control of the body’s movements.
Conclusion
Neuralink is a revolutionary project that could potentially revolutionize the way humans interact with computers. With the FDA’s approval for human clinical trials, the project is one step closer to becoming a reality. It will be interesting to see how the project develops in the coming years and what impact it will have on the world.
