The company Elon musk is actively looking for partners to begin testing the neurochip in humans Bashny.Net

enterprising Elon Musk Today, he continues to develop chips for people. His company Neuralink wants to start testing at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Arizona. To conduct such experiments on their own, for obvious reasons, impossible. But who would dare to implant such neurochips and what are they really? We understand the topic further in the article.



Instagram / @elonrmuskk Elon Musk today First of all, I propose to understand what neurochips are. This is a special technical device whose task is to transmit brain signals via Bluetooth. If such a chip is implanted in the human body, it will be able to control various gadgets literally with the power of thought.

The development was presented in 2019. And after 2 years, scientists have shown how with the help of such a neurochip monkey played a video game. In the case of a person, everything should work as follows. About 1,500 electrodes are implanted into the brain. Each hair is 4 times smaller than a human hair.



Then a special receiver capsule is attached behind the ear, which looks like a hearing aid. The same electrodes will be connected to it. It sounds rather creepy, but the company Musk pursues good goals.

Neuralink wants to make life easier for people who suffer from various neurological diseases. The neurochip will not only control gadgets, but also cope with anxiety. It will also help to adjust your hormonal background. The brain itself can work much more efficiently.



Another feature of the device with the chip concerns music. People will be able to listen to music at completely different frequencies. Melodies will be transmitted directly to the human brain. And, according to the developers, it is likely that people will be able to communicate telepathically using a neurochip.

What should we expect from neurodevelopment? Elon Musk promises that the operation to implement the chip will take a little longer than laser vision correction. There's nothing to be afraid of. Moreover, experiments on rats and monkeys were successful.

However, testing an innovative device in humans is not so easy. To do this, you need a special permit from the US Department of Health. Neuralink wants to start testing at the Barrow Neurological Institute in Arizona. But such experiments have so far been abandoned.



While Musk can’t test the device in humans, he’s improving its specifications. For example, the size of the device itself has decreased. Scientists also managed to reduce the number of electrodes that need to be implanted in the brain. Now there are a little over a thousand.

At the most recent presentation, they showed that the neurochip will still be implanted under the skin. Musk says the procedure is painless and quick. Moreover, a person will be able to immediately leave the clinic, he will not even be put into anesthesia. The procedure itself is carried out by special robot surgeons.



The developers promise that in the future the chip will not only read information, but also record it. This can be useful in the treatment of various ailments. In addition, scientists want to improve the operation of the chip so that it can be used to control Tesla electric cars.

Of course, such an innovative discovery could not do without scandals. Elon Musk does not like to wait, because he demanded to speed up the delivery of the project. As a result, several developers simply resigned. In addition, it became known about the risks that the researchers went when they set up experiments on animals. It's not that smooth!

Until the chip is introduced into the human body, it is very early to prepare about the real advantages and disadvantages of the device. Our brain is an incredibly complex multifaceted mechanism. And that kind of interference could just disrupt its work. Skeptics resent: neurochips are dangerous!



One way or another, you need to understand that Elon Musk was not the first to decide to create such things. Such developments have long been on the market. And some of them have done well. Everyone knows about a hearing aid with an implant. It's been in use since the 1960s.

Well, I want to believe that the experiments of Elon musk will not get out of control of man. What do you think of such scientific discoveries? Boldly share your thoughts in the comments!
