Each wire is slightly slimmer than a human hair and carries electrodes which are both able to detect brain activity and - theoretically - stimulate it. "The fact that they're using these flexible wires is a significant innovation, particularly if they're trying to get it into consumers," Hires said. The wires on Neuralink's proposed device uses could advance the field because of just how floppy they are, according to Andrew Hires, an assistant professor of neurobiology at the University of California, who spoke to Business Insider following Neuralink's July 2019 presentation and the publication of the company's white paper. Floppy wires could move with the brain without causing damage They outlined three genuinely intriguing elements of Neuralink's designs. He also excitedly announced in 2019 that the company had successfully got a monkey to "control a computer with its brain."īusiness Insider spoke to two neuroscientists in 2019 to sort the science from the spin. He has said, in classic Muskian style, that apart from treating neural conditions such as Parkinson's, he hopes that Neuralink could one day facilitate a "symbiosis" between humans and AI. However, Elon Musk doesn't want to stick with what is already possible. A memorable demonstration of the technology was in 2012 when paralyzed patients were able to control a robotic arm. Scientists have already created devices capable of both interpreting brain activity and stimulating the neurons in the brain.
