Elon Musk says
Neurlink has successfully completed two brain implant surgery in a single day. Sharing the achievement, Elon Musk expressed optimism about technology ability to restore lost neurological abilities and replace millions.
Listen to the story
In short
- Neurlink performs more successful brain surgery
- The first surgery was performed in 2024 with Noolland Arbagh
- He can now control a computer using only his ideas.
The brain-computer interface company Neurlink, co-installed by Elon Musk, has once again announced successful surgery, this time successfully conducted two brain implants operations in a single day. The company revealed that both the patients are recovering well. Elon Musk rapidly responded to achievement and expressed his optimism about the possible impact of technology in the near future.
Repeating the neurlink’s declaration, Musk wrote on the X (formally Twitter), “Neurlink will eventually do good life for millions of people, perhaps billions, people. Imagine your loved ones to be able to re-move or your parents must be able to re-recognize your child with dementia.”
The neurlinks made their first successful implantation in March 2024 at a human patient, 30 -year -old Nolland Arbagh. After surgery, Arbagh, which is paralyzed from the shoulders, was able to control the cursor and play chess using only his ideas. With its successful surgery, the company highlighted the abilities of the link to help patients improve their lives.
What is a neurlink brain chip?
A neurlink device, known as “The link”, is a brain-computer interface (BCI) designed to explain nervous activity and reach it to external devices. This coin-shaped implants are directly inserted into the scalp, which consists of embedded ultra-threads in the cerebral cortex. These threads are equipped with 1,024 electrodes that monitor the signs of the brain. The data collected by these threads is then processed by a custom chip and sent via a wireless manner to the connected devices through Bluetooth.
In particular, the neurlinks do this surgical process using a robot surgical system developed by the company. Musk once noted that these robots are capable of inserting electrodes with an accuracy beyond human ability. The surgical robot ensures that the thread is kept with minimal tissue damage and maximum effectiveness.
The primary purpose of the link is to restore lost basic abilities due to neurological damage. Initially, the neurlink focuses on assisting people with severe paralysis to gain control over digital devices, prosthetics, or communication systems through the idea alone. The chip enables users to interact with real -time, hand -free technology, by decoding nerve signals and transmitting them back into brain or other devices.
In the future, Elon Musk has suggested that neurlinks, over time, can help treat a wide range of conditions, from spinal injuries and blindness to dementia and depression.
Although neurlink tests have been approved by US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the specifics of testing places, long -term security data and performance matrix are largely unknown. The absence of registration with limited public data, and major clinical testing databases has raised moral questions about transparency and regulatory compliance.
