Neuralink brain chip: advance sparks safety and secrecy concerns
Elon Musk announced this week that his company’s brain implant has allowed a person to move a computer mouse with their mind.
This week, Musk said on Spaces — an audio component of his social-media platform X — that the volunteer “seems to have made a full recovery, with no ill effects that we are aware of” and “is able to move a mouse around the screen by just thinking”. New York City-based Synchron’s BCI, which is placed in a brain blood vessel and records the averaged firing of neuronal populations, also enables cursor control and a ‘left click’ function. Implanted, high-density electrode systems developed by academic teams have enabled trial participants with paralysis to operate prosthetic robotic arms and hands, and to communicate by decoding their imagined speech.
