Deca Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Elon Musk’s brain implant company Neuralink approved for in-human study https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/may/25/elon-musk-neuralink-brain-implant-fda-approval-human-study Quote Neuralink, Elon Musk’s brain-implant company, said on Thursday it had received a green light from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to kickstart its first in-human clinical study, a critical milestone after earlier struggles to gain approval. Musk has predicted on at least four occasions since 2019 that his medical device company would begin human trials for a brain implant to treat severe conditions such as paralysis and blindness.

Of course they'll use it for good to cure the blind etc, AT FIRST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also known as "wetware", these brain-computer interfaces would effectively convert the chemical and electrical signals from the brain into machine readable data, and vice versa. Ultimately, the program's operators hope that neural interfaces will be able to communicate with up to 1 million neurons in parallel (though still a far cry from the 86 billion that our brains use in total).

Deca Posted May 27 Author Share Posted May 27 https://www.darpa.mil/program/neural-engineering-system-design Neural Engineering System Design (NESD) Dr. Joeanna Arthur The Neural Engineering System Design (NESD) program seeks to develop high-resolution neurotechnology capable of mitigating the effects of injury and disease on the visual and auditory systems of military personnel. In addition to creating novel hardware and algorithms, the program conducts research to understand how various forms of neural sensing and actuation might improve restorative therapeutic outcomes. The focus of the program is development of advanced neural interfaces that provide high signal resolution, speed, and volume data transfer between the brain and electronics, serving as a translator for the electrochemical language used by neurons in the brain and the ones and zeros that constitute the language of information technology. The program aims to develop an interface that can read 106 neurons, write to 105 neurons, and interact with 103 neurons full-duplex, a far greater scale than is possible with existing neurotechnology. To succeed, NESD requires integrated breakthroughs across disciplines including neuroscience, low-power electronics, photonics, medical device packaging and manufacturing, systems engineering, and clinical testing. In addition to hardware, NESD performer teams are developing advanced mathematical and neuro-computation techniques to first transcode high-definition sensory information between electronic and cortical neuron representations and then compress and represent those data with minimal loss of fidelity and functionality. If the program is successful, the work has the potential to significantly advance scientists' understanding of the neural underpinnings of vision, hearing, and speech and could eventually lead to new treatments for injured Service members living with sensory deficits. Additionally, NESD tools could yield new understanding of the architecture and processing of highly integrated neural circuits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason57 Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 I have a friend who loves Musk. I've tried opening his eyes to this nutter but to no avail. It's one thing for Musk to expose the woke left, i love that, but microchipping brains is just psychotic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it's just doing the macarena badly, it would make me feel much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
