Elon Musk hopes to start human trials of Neuralink's brain chip in 6 months.

    Elon Musk announced on Nov 30 that a wireless brain chip is expected to begin human trials in six months. The company is developing a new technology called Natural Interface Technology through this chip, which can help disabled patients to walk and communicate again. They also aim to improve their eyesight.

    In Elon Musk's own words, he says, "Even if someone never had it, even if they were born blind, we still believe that we have the ability to make sight a reality." that

    What is simply happening here is that this very small microchip consisting of electrodes designed by Neurlink for this project is cut from a piece of a man's skull and implanted into the human brain.

    Neuralink, located in the San Francisco Bay Area and Austin, Texas, has been conducting experiments using animals such as pigs and rats for several years.

    You may remember that in the last public presentation held almost a year ago, a monkey connected with a brain chip was thinking alone and playing a computer game.

    A competitor of Neuralink is Synochron Inc. The company has successfully connected a small stent with the human brain. It has made it possible for patients who have difficulty speaking to exchange messages wirelessly.

    Anyway, the work of Neuralink seems to be getting longer day by day. In 2019, it was said that by 2020, permission would be obtained for human trials. Rumors said that the employees are also frustrated by their slow progress.
