“It will enable even those who were blind from birth to see,” Musk said of his company Neuralink’s visual implant. The second brain chip was implanted in early August and the results were successful.
He Neuralink visual implant will allow people who have been blind since birth to see, said the American billionaire Elon Musk. “The device Blindsight Neuralink’s vision will allow even those who have lost both eyes and the optic nerve to see. As long as the visual cortex is intact, it will allow even those who were blinded to see. blind from birth“, Musk wrote on his account on the social network X.
At first the image quality will be low, but in the future The device will allow vision in the infrared and ultraviolet spectrum. It will even be able to capture radar wavelengths, the billionaire said, according to the Sputnik News website. In addition, the tycoon noted that the device could be similar the one used by the congenitally blind fictional character Star Trek, Geordi La Forge.
According to Neuralink, the implant received breakthrough development approval from the US Food and Drug Administration.

The first brain chip implants
He January 30ththe company Neuralink carried out the first implant of a brain chip in a human being. The product, called Telepathy“allows you to control your phone or computer, and through them, almost any device, just by thinking,” Musk said.
The past August 8ththe company made a leap forward by placing a second brain chip and revealed that the second operation showed better results than the first, since the connections flow more smoothly.
Founded in 2016, the corporation Neuralink defines its mission as “creating a generalized brain interface to restore autonomy of those who today have unmet medical needs and unlocking human potential of tomorrow”.
The company rates its interface brain-computer as “fully implantable and cosmetically invisible.” Among its innovations, it also developed a robot surgeon to be in charge of carrying out such implants effectively. After this surgical procedure, the chip proceeds to treat diseases neurological and restore sensory functions.
How the Neuralink chip works
He Telepathy chip can transmit orders to restore functions brain damagedis designed to read a person’s brain activity and enables control of a device with thought.
A robot surgically inserts the chip inside the brain, removes a small portion of the skull, connects the wire-shaped electrodes to specific regions, and then the implant begins to interpret the signs cerebral with the aim of transmitting all the information to computers via Bluetooth connection.
