Musk unveils Neuralink brain machine interface implanted in pigs
Just when you thought the year 2020 couldn’t get much weirder, billionaire Elon Musk has introduced a group of pigs with mind-reading brain implants. As a result, the brain activity of these enhanced porkers could be transmitted wirelessly to a nearby computer, allowing onlookers at the event to watch the animals’ neurons fire as Musk strokes their snouts. At that time, Musk showed early versions of Neuralink implants and disclosed that the company had already been performing tests on mice and primates in which it was able to record and analyze the animals’ neuronal activity via tiny electrodes placed in their brain. Now, we have a Fitbit for the brain.” “Now, we have a Fitbit for the brain” Hodak denied the claims from a recent article by health publication Stat News in which former Neuralink employees said the company might go to Russia or China, where regulators can be more lenient, for its human trials. Musk captured this sentiment when describing Neuralink’s mission statement earlier this year: “If you can’t beat em, join em.”
