Among its products, Neuralink is developing implants that can go into the spinal cord and potentially restore movement in someone suffering from paralysis. And it has an ocular implant meant to improve or restore human vision.
Elon Musk’s Neuralink Corp. aims to start putting its coin-sized computing brain implant into human patients within six months, the company announced at an event at its Fremont, Calif. headquarters on Wednesday evening.
During the event, Musk revealed work on two major products in addition to the brain-computer interface. Musk’s hope is that the device could one day become mainstream and allow for the transfer of information between humans and machines. The company’s critics have long accused Musk of overhyping Neuralink’s advances and over-promising what the technology will be able to do in the near future, if ever.Musk’s entry into the arena, however, has spurred a wave of investment from venture capitalists into startups and helped push the field forward at a much more rapid clip.
The type of brain surgery proposed by Neuralink is far more invasive than that of Synchron or most other competitors in the industry. Neuralink brought its animal husbandry program in-house years ago and has endeavoured to make it an example for others to follow. “We will all be dead before something useful happens,” Musk told his team during a recent product review meeting.
