Neuralink

Blindsight is currently undergoing testing in monkeys, promising a future where its resolution, initially similar to early Nintendo graphics, could surpass that of natural human vision.

Neuralink's pioneering approach involves surgically implanting a chip into a region of the brain that controls the intention to move, enabling direct communication between the brain and external devices.

The implant, named Telepathy, is designed to establish a seamless connection between the human brain and external devices, allowing individuals to control computers or smartphones with mere thoughts.

The first volunteers for the trials will be patients suffering from limb mobility issues. Neuralink obtained the necessary regulatory approval from authorities in the United States last month to conduct brain implant surgeries.

The US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) approval of Neuralink's first-in-human clinical trial opens the door for the company to demonstrate the practicality and safety of its technology in humans.

Neuralink's brain chips are intended for medical purposes and aim to help partially or fully paralyzed individuals and people with severe spinal-cord injuries and neurological disorders.

The founder of the Neuralink startup Elon Musk showed a video in which a monkey plays Pong using a neurochip implanted in the brain, giving commands to the computer with the power of thought.
