Elon Musk said the newly built Neuralink brain chip will help the users to listen to music. It will play music by just sending it directly to their brains.
Elon Musk, the SpaceX and Tesla boss has built his new venture that involves the brain-computer interface. It allows a number of functions. Neuralink is the new start-up by Elon Musk. He has given some information about the new venture on Twitter over a few days.
Musk has confirmed that the new technology that he is working on is helpful to people. It will allow them to “listen to music directly from the neuralink brain chips.” He has also confirmed that the chip would help in controlling the “hormone levels”. This would be used as an advantage for ” enhanced abilities and reasoning and anxiety relief”.
Neuralink was established in 2016. It has had just one public presentation about the technology, the way it works. More information is expected to come out on 28th August. In 2019, during an event, Musk has said that the newly established venture will work on “sewing machine-like devices’ ‘. The device would provide a connection between the computer and the chip that would be inserted in the brain.
This technology would be used initially to help the ones who are facing brain diseases, like Parkinson’s. But the main aim would be to compete with advanced artificial intelligence, said Musk. “Can Neuralink be used to retrain the part of the brain which is responsible for causing addiction or depression? It’d be great if Neuralink can be used for something like addiction/ depression,” Pranay Pathole tweeted.
Chip Would Be Inserted By A Laser Surgery, Perhaps
Musk replied to the same and said, “For sure. This is both great and terrifying. Everything we’ve ever sensed or thought has been electrical signals. The early universe was just a soup of quarks and leptons. How did a very small piece of the universe start to think of itself as sentient?”
Fitting of the chip inside the brain would be just like the laser eye surgery. He tweeted and asked the users, “If you’ve solved hard problems with phones/ wearables (sealing, signal processing, inductive charging, power management, etc.), please consider working at [Neuralink].”
Animal trials have already started with the new technology. Human trials are scheduled to happen this year. Though this would not be made public.
Let’s wait for more information to come out on 28th August
