Neuralink - a brain computing interface that helps to unlock human potential with the help of technologies and creating technologies.technology
- 1. NEURA LINK - A BRAIN COMPUTER INTERFACE
- 2. WHAT IS NEURA LINK? They are implantable of Brain-Machine Interfaces: building devices that have the potential to help people with paralysis and to communicate and control devices with their thoughts.
- 3. THE FOUNDERS- âą Neuralink was founded in 2016 by Elon Musk and a founding team of seven scientists and engineers. âą They are experts in areas such as neuroscience, biochemistry and robotics.
- 4. THE IDEA- âą Elon Musk wants to control machines with just the power of thought. âą They had developed ultrafine âthreadsâ that wove into our brain to listen our neurons. âą The company has also built a robot that can perform the delicate surgery, under the supervision of a neurosurgeon.
- 5. THE CHIP- âą The N1- 4mm-square chip-implanted into the skull. âą chip -wires thinner than a human hair, which reach out into the brain. These threads are placed close to important part of the brain- detect messages as they are relayed between neurons. âą The chips connect wirelessly to a wearable device that hooks over the userâs ear, much like a hearing aid- contains a Bluetooth radio and a battery.
- 6. EXPERIMENT- They experimented a monkey playing the video game Pong with its mind. Its brain signals were sent wirelessly via an implanted device. Also, they used pigs â mission was successful in both cases. Finally, got approval for testing on interested humans by FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION(FDA).
- 7. WORKING- ï§ The brain sends information to different parts of body using neuron ï§ Neuron-communicate by releasing chemical signal called neurotransmitters--this reaction generates an electric field by placing electrodes nearby you can record these. ï§ Electrode part of the chip read electrical signals that are produced by neurons in the brain. ï§ The electrodes translates it into algorithm that a computer can read ï§ Signals âoutputted in the form of an action.
- 8. CONCLUSIONS- âą While the technology is still in development and human trials have not yet begun, it has promise for future medical and therapeutic applications. âą As for Neuralink, this is a technology with potential and dangers at the same time. The only thing we can do is hope that Elon Musk will be able to use it really for the good. Or as a minimum, not to the detriment.
- 9. ADVANTAGES- âą Improved ability to learn and remember new information âą People with disabilities have a higher quality of life of life âą Human-AI communication and collaboration have improved.
- 10. DISADVANTAGES- âą High risk of brain injury or infection âą Abuse and misapplication are possible âą There has been little research into the long- term effects of BCIs âą Invasion of oneâs privacy âą BCI technology is expensive âą Difficulty in removing or repairing BCIs when they fail.
