ALBAWABA - Neuralink, Elon Musk's pioneering neurotechnology firm, is poised to conduct its inaugural brain implant surgery, marking a significant leap in the realm of brain-machine interfaces.
The company is actively seeking a volunteer adult, aged below 40, who has experienced quadriplegia—paralysis in both arms or legs—to participate in this groundbreaking procedure.
Scheduled for individuals meeting the specified criteria, the surgery involves the intricate placement of thin wires and electrodes into the brain, necessitating the removal of a substantial portion of the volunteer's skull. Remarkably, the excised skull segment will be replaced with a diminutive chip designed to remain in position for an extended period.
Characterized by its coin-sized dimensions, the chip is designed to meticulously monitor and interpret the brain activities of the recipient. Following the surgery, data extracted from the individual's brain waves will be accessible through either a computer or tablet interface.
This revolutionary brain implant, a product of years of dedicated research by Neuralink, is anticipated to enable individuals to translate their thoughts into actionable commands via a computer. The company's readiness to undertake human trials underscores the culmination of extensive efforts to bring this innovative technology to fruition, positioning Neuralink at the forefront of neuroscientific advancements.
