His neurotechnology company Elon Musk, Neuralink, is almost ready to begin human trials. All that remains is his acceptance Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
Such as The Verge reportsThe Neuralink held its third event “Show and tell”, which lasted just under three hours and began with his speech Elon Musk, which lasted about 40 minutes. While on stage, Musk said he expects the first brain-computer interface to be implanted in a human within six months, in the middle of 2023.
According to Musk, most of the documents required for human clinical trials have been submitted to the FDA. While the Neuralink placed in the medical field, FDA approval is necessary before a chip can be installed. The company also needs to find a volunteer for the first test, with Musk saying he will install the device on himself eventually.
Neuralink promises to dramatically improve the ability of people with severe injuries or disabilities to communicate. As part of the presentation, Musk showed a monkey moving a cursor on a keyboard with its mind to type a message. The powerful man believes that in the future people will be able to use mobile phones with their minds "better than someone with functioning hands”, using this technology. Hopefully such comments will not create excessive expectations.
Musk admits that the main purpose of the event was to bring people to the company. THE Neuralink needs people with great expertise in many areas such as robotics, optics, the firmware, the software, the mixed-signal chip design, the micro-fabrication, detailed manufacturing, machine learning, electronics engineering, materials, clinical and regulatory and of course animal care. With so many scientists needed, the person who agrees to be the subject of the first test may be said to be taking a certain risk.
