Neuralink is not the only company offering a way that allows patients to control computer just with their thoughts. Australian company is doing the very same and its solution is completely different.
Musk's project Neuralink, which aims to cure life-changing injuries, runs its first clinical trial on a human patient. All looks good so far, as the patient is able to control PC cursor without hands.
Last weekend, the very first human patient received Neuralink's N1 brain chip. It is important milestone for Musk's project, which aims to cure the most severe diseases and life-changing injuries.
Neuralink's first human trials could happen this year, according to Tesla CEO Elon Musk. However, he didn't reveal any information about the timeline or how many patients will take part in the trial.
Neuralink said it has received regulatory approval from FDA for its first-in-human clinical study. The company, funded by Elon Musk, has been working on a brain-computer interface for several years.
Speaking on Clubhouse, Neuralink founder Elon Musk told that his company has wired up a happy simian to play video games. Videos on it could be dropping in about a month's time as well.
Elon Musk is set to give an update on the work that his Neuralink firm has been doing. The firm was previously said that it was looking to start trials on humans sometime this year.
By borrowing from metallurgy, the team demonstrated a novel memristor design that was able to outperform existing ones in reproducing the images of Captain America's shield and MIT's Killian Court.
Taking inspiration from the olfactory bulb in the human brain, researchers at Intel have implemented a neural algorithm on the Intel Loihi neuromorphic system to distinguish between smells.
A university based start-up company called Neurable is developing a virtual reality video game that also uses a brain-computer interface allowing players to play the game using only their thoughts.
