ELON PREDICTS 'HUNDREDS OF MIILIONS 'OF PEOPLE WILL HAVE HIS BRAIN CHIPS IMPLANTED IN THE NEXT 15 TO 20 YEARS.
WHO IMPLEMENTS THE PROCESS
The Neuralink device distinguishes itself through its high-density electrode array and wireless communication, aiming for greater precison and ease of use.
The implant procedure is performed by a specially designed surgical robot, with the device's charging and communications handles wirelessly.
THE VISION WHICH IS NOW A REALITY
Neuralink, founded by Musk in 2016, has already achieved significant milestones in its mission to help people with traumatic injuries operate computer using only their thoughts.
The company's first device, named ["TELEAPTHY"], represents a major advancement in brain-computer interface technology.
The implant contains more than 1,00 electrodes, far surpassing other similar devices in terms of precision and capability.
Neuralink’s potential is being demonstrated through its first publicly announced human patient, Noland Arbaugh. Prior to receiving his Nueralink implant, Arbaugh, who is paralyzed from the neck down, struggled to interact with technology effectively. Post-implant, he can now use computers, play video games, and even explore career opportunities. As he described it, using the Neuralink feels like using “the force” on a cursor.

While Neuralink’s immediate focus remains on helping people with disabilities, Musk has suggested that future applications could include addressing conditions like hearing and vision loss, though these capabilities have not yet been tested. Musk ultimately hopes to facilitate a merger between human intelligence and artificial intelligence. As one patient’s success leads to another, the company continues to work toward its goal of making brain-computer interfaces widely accessible.
This rapid advancement in neural interface technology represents not just a medical breakthrough but potentially a new chapter in human evolution. As Nueralink progesses toward its ambitious goals, the coming years will be crucial in determining whether these predictions of widespread adoption become reality.
