Elon Musk founded Neuralink, a startup specializing in neurotechnology. The main objective of the company is to create a brain-machine interface (BMI) that can be implanted and improve the quality of life for individuals with serious brain and spinal cord injuries. This brain device, called a Brain Machine Interface, includes lengthy and slender wires with electrodes. The technology utilizes the small electric fields produced at synapses in the brain, translating this analog information into ones and zeros for use in the digital realm. The company's goal is to create harmony between humans and artificial intelligence (AI) to enable individuals to control robotic devices like exoskeletons using their thoughts. This technology could also facilitate communication for patients with conditions like locked-in syndrome, restore lost neuronal connections in diseases like Alzheimer's, and help prevent and treat drug-resistant epilepsy. Despite the promising results seen in early testing on small and large animals, there have been no clinical trials conducted up to now. More research is required to determine the safety and effectiveness of the Neuralink device.
