Elon Musk Is Now Closer To Putting Chips On The Human Brain

Graeme Moffat, an academic who works in the field of neurology at the University of Toronto, described Musk's new project as a big step, emphasizing the small size of the chip, the robustness of the power supply and the quality of the diameter of the wireless capacity. Stanford University neurologist Sergey Stavisky says the company has come an impressive way. “It's pretty impressive to switch to a system that's completely embedded in the brain,” says Stavisky. "This shows that you have a focused team working in different disciplines." The San Francisco-based company, where 100 people work, recently received an investment of $ 158 million, of which $ 100 million was from Elon Musk. Musk says that this development in neurology technology brings people together with artificial intelligence at a unique point, apart from the medical side. Musk was known for his attitude towards artificial intelligence. Neurolink is not the only company that claims to find a cure for neurological diseases by monitoring brain waves. There are other rival players in the market called Kernel, Paradromics and NeuroPace. Medtronic, a world-renowned brand in medical device, is looking for solutions to diseases such as Parkinson's, tumor and epilepsy by producing brain implants.
