All the Actually Important Stuff Neuralink Just Announced
While Elon Musk has been busy taking over Twitter, his brain-computer interface company Neuralink has been working on refining its technology, which is aimed at creating implants that allow a direct line of communication between the human brain and computers. In 2019, Musk claimed his company’s device would eventually allow people to achieve a “symbiosis with artificial intelligence.” The company, founded in 2016, is still far from merging our brains with AI. The Neuralink team also demonstrated how its surgical robot inserts electrode threads, using a dummy filled with a gelatinous “brain proxy” material. “It’s capable of maneuvering these tiny threads that are only on the order of a few red blood cells wide and inserting them reliably into a moving brain while avoiding vasculature,” said D. J. Seo, the company’s vice president of implant. “The robotic arm is the biggest advancement so far because of how precise and how quick it is to do the electrode insertion, especially when you’re talking about putting thousands of electrodes in the brain,” said Marvin Andujar, assistant professor of computer science and engineering at the University of South Florida, who isn’t involved with Neuralink.
