Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla as well as the president of Neuralink, recently announced the testing of an experimental chip called Blindsight that could potentially restore vision for blind individuals. This chip aims to connect neural activity with external devices to improve or restore vision for those with visual impairments. The technology involves the surgical insertion of microthreads into the brain, allowing for the recording and transmission of brain signals wirelessly to control movement intentions.
Neuralink, founded in 2017 by Musk, focuses on integrating artificial intelligence technology into the human brain. The company has made significant advancements in brain implants, with the ultimate goal of helping individuals with mobility impairments to control devices and perform tasks using only their thoughts. By inserting electrodes into the motor cortex of animals, Neuralink has been able to demonstrate the potential for paralyzed individuals to regain mobility through brain implants.
In a recent experiment, Nolan Arbaugh, who was paralyzed from the neck down after a diving accident, received a cerebral chip from Neuralink. Through this implant, Arbaugh was able to control a computer mouse and play chess using only his thoughts. The video footage showing his progress highlights the potential of this groundbreaking technology to transform the lives of individuals with severe disabilities.
