Everything We Know About Neuralink’s Brain Implant Trial
F this guy.
Well, if I'd have paralysis, with some probability I'd want to try even knowing all about Musk.
There's that problem though with Musk apparently being too excited about putting a cord in one's skull. Instead of, I don't know, scanning for brain waves and analyzing patterns? I know literally nothing of the domain area, it's just that maybe subtlety is a good thing.
Don't worry, just learn some flashy buzzwords and you'll know as much about brain implants as musk.
A few years ago, I read a really comprehensive article about Neuralink on waitbutwhy.com. Mind you, it's long.
But if I recall correctly, the reason why needles rather than scanning is precision, speed and 2 two-way communication. Needles is a more risky and invasive procedure, but it does allow near instant communication, at the precise neurons you want to target, and it allows to override the signal.
In some cases of paralysis, the signal to move a muscle might be there, but it's just to weak to get anything done. By amplifying it, you fix that problem at the source.
Yeah this is one of those things where you don't have to like the guy to want to take advantage of the tech. Elon is a loud mouthed idiot, but he's somehow spawned some cool companies
Murdering thousands of animals? No, thank you. If we want it for us, test it on people.
