Find out how the brain chip created by Elon Musk works – Meu Valor Digital

The chip in the head looks like something out of a movie, but know that this is a real plan from one of billionaire Elon Musk's companies. Telepathy (“telepathy”) is a Neuralink chip that promises to connect people and machines.

Musk is known for the various technological innovations produced by his companies. Elon Musk's projects produce space technology, electric cars, and robotics, in addition to creating an Internet network that works anywhere in the world.

So, we can say that we have a genius who is doing very well in business, being one of the richest men on the planet. News about Neuralink's Telepathy chip has been growing in recent days, following the first implantation.

The first chip implant was performed!

Controlling machines just by thinking is something we only see in movies, but if all goes well, it could become a reality. The first Neuralink chip implant has already been performed on January 28, 2024. According to Neuralink, the telepathic implant will process brain waves so that immobile patients can control cell phones, computers, etc. with their thoughts.

The first implant performed by Neuralink was performed last Sunday (28). First, Neuralink wants to evaluate the safety of the implant and the robot that performs the surgery.

The patient's name was not revealed, but according to Elon, his recovery is going well. Preliminary results show a promising detection of neuronal activity, Musk said on social media.

“The first adopters will be those who have lost the use of organs. Imagine if Stephen Hawking was able to communicate faster than a speed writer or an auctioneer,” Musk posted on X.

In the future, the goal is to use the telepathic chip to control devices such as smartphones and computers.

Watch how the chip works:

The implant processes brain waves that are decoded by the Neuralink app that will control the electronic devices according to the patients' intentions.

Elon Musk stated that the telepathy chip could also help treat diseases, such as obesity and mental disorders. As mentioned, early adopters will be those who have lost use of members.

When Neuralink began offering volunteer applications, recruitment was specifically for people with quadriplegia caused by cervical spinal cord injury or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
