Elon Musk’s Neuralink has recently been in the news, and not because the private neurotechnology company has reached a breakthrough.
Neuralink is working on BCIs, brain-computer interfaces, which are implants that would enable communication between human brains and computers. Additionally, due to its advanced engineering, Link is able to record the activity of more neurons than any other interface. An average device of this kind can currently receive impulses from up to 200-300 electrodes. Link increases this resolution to a new level, thanks to its 2,048 electrodes. With this type of technology, we could combat degenerative diseases, stroke and paralysis, as well as Parkinson’s, epilepsy, dementia and Alzheimer’s.
Musk has said this would allow us to augment our abilities and ultimately create devices that could help us achieve superhuman intelligence. On the surface, this sounds cool, but if you dig deeper, you’ll discover a plethora of issues. The other big issue that Neuralink could face is the same one that plagues other implants: the body’s immune system. Our bodies are designed to protect us from foreign invaders, which is exactly what these devices are. The body will try to fight them off, and this could cause inflammation and implant rejection.
JuricaDujmovic If you really want to do something meaningful, why don't you step up and do something about things like $MMTLP? I'm guessing you are in bed with these HFs and MMs that screw the everyday person. The retail investor gets screwed, and you do nothing about FINRAFRAUD !!!
JuricaDujmovic Let him be the Guinea pig for it then.
JuricaDujmovic I mean, it’s not like Elon is letting sand flies eat the faces off dogs or something.
