How Elon Musk’s Neuralink Could Disrupt the Smartphone Industry
Neuralink, a neurotechnological company based out of San Francisco founded by Elon Musk is developing technology whose ultimate goal is to help cure neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s, dementia, and spinal cord injuries.
The company develops ultra-high bandwidth brain-machine interfaces that connect the human brain to computers. Essentially, it’s a network of tiny electrodes linked to your brain that Neuralink envisions, which will allow us to communicate wirelessly with everything and everyone.
Our thoughts, feelings, hopes, and even behaviors can be expressed without saying a word. In addition, it can allow us to communicate with animals.
As a matter of fact, Neuralink has started testing their brain-machine device with pigs.
Yes, you read that right. Pigs.
They tested it with pigs by putting a computer chip inside their brains.
Again, yes you read that right. Inside their brains.
Neuralink does something that can be considered morally unethical, but when understood the science behind it, it will start to make sense and it will just be like any other scientific innovations we’ve had in our lifetime.
