Elon Musk has announced that a Nerolink. This nurolink is a brain chip implant that is said to help paraplegics. This chip has electrode arrays of around 1,000 superthin, flexible conductors that a surgical robot would thread into the cerebral cortex. Elon would also like to have an app that can translate signals and generate text or move a cursor.
“It is a good thing to help paraplegics be able to as independent as they can. But, they don’t know what it is doing to there brain and I believe to change the guide wires in the brain would be very dangerous and have a high risk for infection. They are not registered with the FDA, which is required for a clinical trial.”
It will be an interesting turn on how Elon Musk proceeds with this new nerolink. If he uses it how it is claimed to be used, this will benefits thousands of people. It is good to know that this could help other people who wouldn’t have great quality of life. However, there are risks to everything, we will see what safeguards are taken.
