Neuralink brain reader will be ready for human trials in six months
Elon Musk has revealed that Neuralink's mind reader might be tested on humans within six months. The business still needs approval from U.S. health officials to undertake tests using the brain chip.
Neuralink is developing a coin-sized implant that will be inserted into the skull. The goal is to communicate with a computer directly through the brain. This should allow paralysed individuals to move their muscles once more. Neuralink also intends to restore sight to the blind. Musk believes that even persons born blind should be able to accomplish this. Neuralink must gain approval from the Food and Drug Administration before the mind reader may be implanted in humans (FDA). Musk asserts that the majority of Neuralink's documentation has been submitted to the regulatory body. The FDA regulates medical equipment such as brain implants.
In recent years, the Neuralink chip has been tested on multiple animals. During an experiment on a monkey, the animal was able to play the fifty-year-old game, Pong mentally. The mind reader detected the app's brain activity and translated it into the movement of the board to cause the ball to bounce.
The Neuralink mind reader detects brain activity using wires smaller than a human hair. Due to their flexibility, these would be safer than present brain implants. Musk founded Neuralink in 2017; he frequently establishes ambitious companies, such as Tesla, Hyperloop, and SpaceX.

It's a missed opportunity if they don't. A lot of people practically live on their phones and likely think they're private and secure. I've got mine turned off and out of sight most of the time.
I wouldn't be surprised if there would be a way to implant it for extra cheap by having advertisements play while you sleep, or so Amazon can collect your data. Just by thinking of a product, you will have ads targeted toward those thoughts. Ironically, that's actually less creepy than how some ads work today. The algorithms used are shockingly effective based on the relatively small amount of data they collect from us. I'm also somewhat convinced that phones are listening to us while we speak. Too often have I encountered targeted ads or youtube videos for things I spoke of but know I never searched for.

Who would even want this? Talk about invasive. "6 months" OK Elon...that line should help you with your stock you can quick sell but I doubt it's accurate.

If I had some crippling neural-derived disability (such as paraplegia, blindness, deafness, etc), I honestly would have some interest in this if it meant I could become more independent or capable. I wouldn't care about the risks because I would either get something that would help me, or, I would help future development where others would benefit from what was learned from me. I wouldn't care about the likely invasion of privacy because, well, most of such people don't have a real sense of privacy - many are at the discretion of their caretakers.
Granted, that's just me though. I have no right to speak for those who suffer from such disabilities.

That's a great point I missed. I agree completely. If it can help someone with a disability, then absolutely. I'm thinking too negatively toward Musk and technology to see such a positive point. You're absolutely right.
