Which Mr. Musk claims to solve important brain and spine problems with a seamlessly implanted device.
He says “Almost everyone has neurological problems over time, so we need a generalized brain device that is reliable and affordable.” Some of the common problems mentioned below.
Memory Loss Hearing Loss Blindness Paralysis
Depression Insomnia Extreme Pain Seizures
Anxiety Addiction Strokes Brain Damage
Neuralink Architecture:
Nuralink It’s a seamless device which Inductively Charges just like we charge our smart watch or mobile phone & we can use it all day & charge it all night and have full functionality.
It is a device with Link V0.9
1024 Channels per link.
23 mm x 8 mm
Flush with skull (Invisible)
6-axis IMU, temperature, pressure, etc.
Megabit wireless data rate, post compression
All day battery life.
Getting A Neuralink :
It takes less than an hour.
Leave the Hospital same day.
Can be done without general anesthesia.
In Terms of getting a link we need to have a device and we also need to have a great robot that puts in the electrodes and does the surgery
This is the SURGICAL ROBOT: Elon Musk Wanted the Robot to Do Entire Surgery right from incision and inserting electrodes into skull and placing the device and then closing the things up and having you ready to leave so you have a full auto mated system.
This below image show up a sort of close-up view how electrodes being inserted into the brain if you give a brief look you’ll see the electrodes are inserted carefully with no bleeding and the robot actually images the brain and make sure to avoid any veins and arteries with no noticeable neural damage in inserting the link.
How Does It Work:
With three little bionic pigs Demo where Mr. Musk demonstrated & showed off how it works that listens in on electricals signals from the brain and could use those signals to control computers & robots. This technology isn’t new but Nuralink want to make the system smaller, safer, and easier to insert in our brain.
As it sounds great, when Mr. Musk claims that it can solve most common problems like:
Memory Loss Hearing Loss Blindness Paralysis
Depression Insomnia Extreme Pain Seizures
Anxiety Addiction Strokes Brain Damage
Can this technology manage to connect to the most mysterious thing in the universe, the human brain?
As Musk’s first Nuralink demo came in July of last year. At that presentation, he unveiled a system of tiny flexible threads that would sneak into a patient’s brain and monitor individual neurons and he also showed off the robot surgeon that actually implant them and last month, we got a glimpse of an updated device. The threads now emanate from a smaller coin-like device which will be embedded directly into the skull.
As Mr. Musk trying to merge the human brain with artificial intelligence. All with one little fit bit look alike coin. To know what’s science and what’s not because the problems with these ideas is they cant be achieved by just more electrode or fancier interfaces alone. They are not just tech problems. Musk wants to read the brain activity, like he demonstrated with Gertrude pig but he also want to write to it, meaning the device will actively stimulate certain areas with electrical pulses to make you feel or behave in certain way that probably be the idea behind treating conditions depression and anxiety. He was bit short on how he’s going to do that, though, which is not surprising because no one really knows. The neurological bases for lot of these conditions is still hugely mysterious. For example, Anxiety isn’t as simple as the sensation you have in your hands. That, we can trace all the way back to very specific clusters of neurons in the brain. Instead, anxiety is the product of tons of different brain regions working in a very specific pattern and combination. Researchers are far from even codifying that let alone manipulation it with any level of precision even reading the brain gets fiendishly tricky because there are bigger challenges of merging computers with biology. If Neuralink just want to focus on better tech systems for machine brain interface, that alone would be great, but they are trying to merge AI into our brains which might lead to rude awakening for Musk. Because brain is not a car, and its not a rocket. Figuring it out is going to take time.
