Neuralink, led by Elon Musk, has achieved a significant milestone by implanting its first device, named Telepathy, in a human patient.
This brain-computer interface (BCI) is designed to allow direct control of computers and phones through thought, aiming to assist individuals with mobility issues initially. The device’s capabilities include neuron spike detection, with each containing 1024 electrodes for precise interaction.
Approved for clinical trials by the FDA, Neuralink’s ambition extends beyond medical applications, envisioning a future where BCIs enhance human cognition and enable a symbiosis with AI. For a detailed exploration of this groundbreaking advancement, read the full article on Big Think:
