And it is that, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved that it can launch a clinical study in humans on brain chips.
How it works?
Everything would go together NeuralinkElon Musk’s company designed for a cyber future with brain implants.
They had already been tested on monkeyswith enough reviews, however, thanks to the FDA, they can now be tested directly on humans, which, to me at least, isn’t much fun.
According to Elon, this will greatly help move the project forward, however, he doesn’t talk about the risks that being the “guinea pig” can entail. And that’s it, the purpose of the case is good, since, supposedly, this chip implanted in the brain, It would improve our cognitive abilities.
His challenge is that people with vision, mobility or any other physical limitation can recover thanks to this implant. I imagine for a blind man this is very exciting news, if he is truly able to restore his sight I am sure he will let it go.
But keep in mind that he also wants to be the first to launch a rocket that can land safely for the occupants, and thus be able to reach Mars, and yet his tests so far have been unsuccessful, both have ended up rocketing to pieces so, at least for now, I wouldn’t put this new invention on my head, although each person who does, as Musk says, will be a big breakthrough for the rest of the world. universe, because it’s not the same testing on animals rather than directly on people.
One of the tests carried out on a monkey it consisted of making him play a video game with his mind, thanks to a chip implanted in his head. the challenge worked, this chimpanzee was able to move a cursor just by thinking about it, raising many expectations about how far it could travel. However, in recent years, little has been done to think that it will be something miraculous in a short time. Although it must be said that if a paralyzed person is able to move his hands with his mind, it would already be a great achievement.
Now that they can test it on us, we’ll see if breakthroughs happen faster or if this is just a failed project attempt, and what seemed like a medical and technological breakthrough will just be a flop.
For now we have to wait, according to Neuralink this year we will already have the first results on chips in humans, so we will be very aware of new news and developments that may be on this subject. I don’t imagine they understand and see such a feat one day when you wake up. It would be one of the most significant breakthroughs we’ve seen in decades. But for now, it’s time to dream and wait.
