"There is a device from Neuralink called Blindsight, which gives sight to blind people, even those who have been blind since birth. It will interact directly with the visual cortex of the brain," the businessman explained.
In addition, he expects that in the future, Neuralink's developments will help people with spinal injuries start walking again, Profil writes.
Created by Musk in July 2016, the Neuralink startup is developing chips that can be implanted in the human brain. The entrepreneur believes that such devices will allow a person to become a cyborg, and also help people learn how to control a computer using the power of thought.
In July 2024, Neuralink Corporation implanted a brain implant in a paralyzed patient. 29-year-old Nolan Arbo was paralyzed after an accident that occurred while swimming on the lake seven years ago. He became the first person to experience the effects of a Neuralink implant. Thanks to this device, he learned not only how to control a computer, but also how to play computer games.
Neuralink successfully implanted the chip into the brain of a second patient, the company said in August of the same year. This chip is designed so that paralyzed people can control digital devices only with their thoughts.
