First Human Neuralink Implant A Success, Musk Says 'Initial Results Promising'




Elon Musk on Monday announced that the first human patient has received a brain implant from his startup, Neuralink - which according to Musk "Enables control of your phone or computer, and through them almost any device, just by thinking."​

"Imagine if Stephen Hawking could communicate faster than a speed typist or auctioneer. That is the goal," Musk continued.

(And imagine how many more alleged orgies Hawking could attend!)


The Neuralink brain implant, called Telpathy, was designed to help people with traumatic brain injuries operate electronic devices only with their thoughts. It uses ultra-fine "threads" to help transmit signals. In May, the company received FDA approval to conduct human trials in a study which uses a robot to surgically place a brain-computer interface (BCI) implant in an area of the brain that controls our ability to move. The company announced late last year that it was recruiting patients with quadriplegia caused by cervical spinal cord injury or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Musk said that the initial results of the implant "show promising neuron spike detection."

According to Kip Ludwig, co-director of the Wisconsin Institute for Translational Neuroengineering at the University of Wisconsin, 'neuron spike detection' means the company is receiving data from the patient's brain, Bloomberg reports, adding that monkeys with the implants have been able to play computer games with their brains alone.

For several years, Musk has said that implanting a human with his device was imminent. In July 2019, he predicted surgery in a human head by year’s end. Meanwhile, other companies such as Synchron moved ahead implanting their own devices into human brains, opening Neuralink to the suggestion it was falling behind. Monday’s news will likely blunt that criticism.
The long timetable underscores how tough the task ahead is for Neuralink. The startup’s chips aim to go less than 2 millimeters into the brain. That’s still deeper than many other systems, such as the one in development from Precision Neuroscience, which sits on top of the brain tissue. -Bloomberg

Last June, Neuralink was valued at around $5 billion.

Hopefully the socialists don't start a Borg collective.

This should be a wake up call to anyone who still thinks Musk is on our side.

He is trying to recreate some spiritual abilities, but by artificial means.
I'm not sure he is aware that evolution happens in a different way.

By abilities I mean things like telekinesis, telepathy and more.

He should look at his own ideas on how to evolve humanity, because that creates more harm than good.

Pretty sure he's with the jews. Crypto jew most likely. He has all the jew habits, steal ideas from others, present it as your own, take the credit, and constantly lie on promises.

This should be a wake up call to anyone who still thinks Musk is on our side.

Its strange because Elon will campaign to regulate AI fiercely but when it comes to the brain chip he hasnt spoken on the obvious danger of it. This is the most dangerous realm of tech.
