Neuralink: According to Musk’s company, the first patient with a brain chip plays online chess

By /
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized Neuralink to conduct human testing on the chip in May 2023.

Neuralink is only one of many businesses and academic institutions working to develop and eventually market this technology.

Gert-Jan Oskam, for instance, is paralyzed, but the École Polytechnique Fédérale in Lausanne, Switzerland, has managed to make him walk merely by thinking about the movements required.

Mr. Oskam’s brain and spine were implanted with electronic implants to enable wireless thought transmission to his legs and feet.

The breakthrough’s specifics were released in the peer-reviewed publication Nature the previous year.

Approximately 86 billion neurons, or nerve cells joined by synapses, are found in the human brain.

A little electrical impulse is produced and delivered extraordinarily swiftly from one neuron to another whenever we wish to move, feel, or think.

Through the use of wires implanted into the brain or a non-invasive cap worn on the head, scientists have devised devices that can detect some of those impulses.

A brain-computer interface (BCI) is the technology that seems to be the current recipient of millions of dollars in research funding.
