Musk said that Neuralink is hoping to implant its second human patient within “the next week or so.”

    The company implanted its first human patient this winter, but executives said Wednesday that only around 15% of his implant’s channels are working.

    If we see any progress this time, this new tech would help people suffering from physical disadvantages in the end.

    Should you have a chance to try this new way of implant in a near future, at what stage would you participate? (I wouldn’t for now)

      Provided a technology like this actually is perfected. I would have to be debilitated to a point where it was my only option. Also, I would look for a competitor.

      There’s going to be people where this tech is required. I hope they are successful.

      The first generation of brain computer interfaces is a step toward developing better ones. But I wouldn’t want a first generation BCI. Not going to work well and probably brain damage and will be hopelessly obsolete once better versions come out.

      If it could fix my bipolar I’d take it. If it kills me it’d do me a favor anyways lol

    6. I work in this industry and seeing comments on anything related are always agonizing.

      People don’t understand the difference between output signals and input signals.

      They also don’t understand that even if they were input signals, you would need thousands of these implants to create just a single visual image in the brain.

      Do you really think this guy gives a shit if he implants something in your brain that causes permanent damage to you?
      Animal torture apparently is getting old
