A coin-sized wireless chip developed by the company Neuralink to start the clinical trial in a few months– as the company crossed the earlier timelines as stated by the billionaire CEO.

Elon Musk(the world’s second richest person) the owner of the company like Tesla, Space X, and Twitter recently bought $ 44 billion. But recently he commands the neural interface technology called Neuralink. Yes, you heard it right. So does it evoke a sense of urgency that the company has built a chip embedding in the brain of the person coping with any sort of disability? The good thing is that the billionaire urged the need for the chip that would also be implanted in the brain during the demos. But how it works? That remains an intriguing question.

What is Neuralink?

A developing brain chip interface it empowers disabled patients to move and speak up and is also the unique thing that restores vision. Interestingly, all the clips allow in the treatment of” paralysis” to use a smartphone with a faster mind than someone using thumbs,” Musk said back in 2016.

Neuralink Chip: How it works?

Neuralink is a tiny chip that is surgically implanted in the brain of the person. It contains a lot of tiny wire and is reportedly 20 times thinner than human hair. All these wires spread in the brain of the person are equipped with 1,0024 electrodes— keeping track of all the minute activity of the brain person with the potential for electrical stimulation of the brain. The data also gets transmitted without wireless via the chips to computers and is used for further studies.

The registered data can also get transmitted wirelessly via the chip to computers, which researchers can use for further studies.

What Neuralink can do to Patients?

The Company is making claims that the chip can mimic thoughts, and allow you to speak to the machines without uttering a single word. Currently, the chip leverages to control basic devices like smartphones and computers. So it should be critical and shall work before you put any device in humans.

Musk said during the much-awaited public update on the device. For a long, the company has been working on tech time and has tested on animals too. The chip is successfully implanted in the brain of a monkey and a pig.

The company announced they are looking to conduct trials of brain chips in more than six months. So as per his visionary approach, we are thinking of Neuralink in the human,” as stated in the event.

The firm is claiming that the latest technology can cure dreadful diseases like paralysis, blindness, memory loss, and other neurological diseases. This can reportedly enable” superhuman vision” giving the ability to communicate with machines.

Where is based?

The company is based in the San Francisco Bay Area and Austin, Texas– Neuralink in recent years has been conducting tests on animals by seeking approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to start clinical trials.

So it is not an experiment but a trial on humans however it requires extreme caution to work before putting a device into the human brain. Musk said during a much-awaited public update on the device.

At first, this applies to all humans and will perform agonizingly slow and bring scalability in parallel,” he added. So in all the progress should be exponential”.

The first version of the human applications by the Neuralink device restores vision and enables the movement of muscles in people who have been facing problems for ages. Musk said.

Further, he stated when someone has lost their vision and is like the born blind and believes in restoring the vision,” he said.

Can we remove this chip? Can it be removed?

Earlier this year, the company claimed that to make successful attempts and ensure safer implantation in someone’s brain to cure diseases. The Neuralink works well in monkeys and is doing testing and confirming as it is safe and reliable and the device could be removed safely.” However, the company is yet to receive approval from the Food and Drug Administration to sell the device and is waiting to get the government nod for this technology.
