An Elon Musk company is getting closer to connecting the human brain with computers
Elon Musk’s brain chip aims to enhance human capabilities and treat neurological disorders such as EKA or Parkinson’s
“There is no hand that can do that intervention,” said neuroscientist José Sánchez
Elon Musk ensures that your company has already achieved implant a chip in a human brain. The technology will be called telepathy and, with it, you can control, for example, your mobile phone or a computer just with your thought. But how does it work? What risks does it entail? ‘Code 10’ analyzes it.
At 52 years old, Elon Musk is the second richest person in the world and ambition is undoubtedly one of his main characteristics. Now, he wants to implant a chip in humans to make calls or connect to the internet through the mind.
How is the chip implanted in the brain?
He wants to do it thanks to Neurolink, the chip that they say they have already implanted in a human brain. The expert Jose Sanchez, neuroscientist, explained to us in ‘Code 10’ how this type of device works. If what is intended is influence the movement of the person, The chip would be integrated into the premotor cortex which is where we plan the movement, its intention: “In this way, it is suspected that the chip will be installed in this cortex.”
But is dangerous? The expert responded that this has “risks” but it is not something new: “It’s nothing new, It has been going on for decades, electrodes have even been used to treat Parkinson’s disorders.
Elon Musk’s is a wireless chip, which charges wirelessly and with more than 1000 very fine electrodes. In addition, a specific robot has been used to implant it: “There is no hand that can make that intervention.”
