Neuralink is the latest startup of the well-known Elon Musk. They surprised the world with a device with which it will be possible to control computers 'telepathically' with the brain. If all goes according to luck, the first investigations with people will be carried out at the beginning of next year.
Neuralink he presented device, which represents the connection between the brain and the computer. Elon Musk claims that something can happen quickly, that with the progress of artificial intelligence, we will left behind behind her. This is exactly why we need a powerful device that will allow us to we become part artificial intelligence.
Neuralink is developing small processors, which will be connected via 'cables', which are thinner than a human hair. Sensors, in size between 4 and 6 miko meters, will be installed under the surface skull and send information to the device that we will install for the ear.
The goal of Neuralink is to 'read' the information of the nerve endings as much as possible minimally invasive method.
Neuralink has developed a special one for inserting the device surgical robot, which is equipped with advanced video optics. It will be able to insert 'threads' into the brain without damaging the blood vessels.
He will be able to insert 6 'not' per minute, which is total 192 electrodes, and he will do the work with help 24 micron needles. A robot's action could be compared to action sewing machine. Once inserted, the 'threads' will be able to perform reading rooms and written operations and transmitted a lot quantity data. The external receiver will communicate via a wireless connection with the inserted sensors and transfer the data to different applications.
The first testing with humans should begin in the beginning of the future years, and priority will be given to patients with diseases that are still present today bad acquaintances and represent big a challenge.
