CitizenVectron Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Elon Musk's Neuralink implants brain chip in first human FINANCE.YAHOO.COM Spikes are activity by neurons, which the National Institute of Health describes as cells that use electrical and chemical signals to send information around the brain and to the body. In September, Neuralink said it received approval for recruitment for the human trial. The study uses a robot to surgically place a brain-computer interface (BCI) implant in a region of the brain that controls the intention to move, Neuralink said... There is great potential with this kind of tech...but that includes potential for subscription-based treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t want the company making and maintaining my brain chip being run by the same dude who is running Twitter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkStar189 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Love him or hate him, I am very interested to see what becomes of this person that got the implant. It could help a lot of people…or go totally sideways and be a train wreck. Either way I’m in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Neuralink’s first implant partly detached from patient’s brain | Technology | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Some of the threads connecting the chip to the brain began to retract. The Elon Musk-owned company did not explain why Quote Neuralink’s first attempt at implanting its chip in a human being’s skull hit an unexpected setback after the device began to detach from the patient’s brain, the company revealed on Wednesday. The patient, Noland Arbaugh, underwent surgery in February to attach a Neuralink chip to his brain, but the device’s functionality began to decrease within the month after his implant. Some of the device’s threads, which connect the miniature computer to the brain, had begun to retract. Neuralink did not disclose why the device partly retracted from Arbaugh’s brain, but stated in a blogpost that its engineers had refined the implant and restored functionality. The decreased capabilities did not appear to endanger Arbaugh, and he could still use the implant to play a game of chess on a computer using his thoughts, according to the Wall Street Journal, which first broke the news of the issue with the chip. The possibility of removing the implant was considered after the detachment came to light, the Journal reported. Arbaugh’s implant began running into problems in late February, according to Neuralink’s blogpost, when an undisclosed number of the chip’s threads “retracted from the brain, resulting in a net decrease in the number of effective electrodes”. This decreased the device’s bits per second, which is essentially a gauge of how well the implant could perform its tasks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reputator Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 It's not like you can just keep going in there and removing/adding/fixing shit every time something needs to be changed. It's major brain surgery every time they do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
