Here we go. Is THAT Neuralink?
So the Neuralink is definitely an implantable device and may be used to address these problems
Musk: "There& #39;s wires and a box in your head so there is some infection risk"
That may be referring to previous tech
Here& #39;s where Neuralink looks like today. Musk: "Like a Fitbit in your head with tiny wires."
Neuralink is inductively charged.
Wow, Musk says you could get one surgically installed in an hour. A robot need to do it. #Neuralink
This pig had a Neuralink implant and then hey removed it to demonstrate upgradeability.
Gertrude pig is the metal ball of the Neuralink demo.
Gertrude has a Neuralink and it& #39;s picking up sensations from her snout
This pig has 2 Neuralinks in its head
So Neuralink implants are sensors that can track all sorts of brain activity
Some details on the Neuralink.
They got a Breakthrough Device Distinction for Neuralink from the FDA in July
This is a recruiting event. Neuralink is hiring. No prior experience on brain s required.
Musk says eventually they& #39;d like to interface with the hypothalamus. #Neuralink
Thanks to the pig pens, it looks like @elonmusk is conducting this event from a farm house
The Neuralink threads are like 5 microns thick.
Neuralink prototype has 1024 channels for recording. They digitize signals at 20 kilohertz.
Musk: With this implant, you can think to output words to control a phone or computer. #Neuralink
Musk says "In the future, you will you be able to save and replay memories" but admits that& #39;s this is starting to sound like a Black Mirror episode. #Neuralink
The use of pigs greatly accelerated development. One they& #39;re quite similar to humans, but are also smart enough to train and easy to keep happy. "They& #39;re happy as pigs," says Musk. #Neuralink
At first #Neuralink will be quite expensive, but @elonmusk hopes to get the price down to a few thousand dollars.
Musk: "Over time, you might be able to have super human vision." Me: But this is a future, future thing, I think. #Neuralink
Musk mentions: "Non-consenual, conceptual telepathy." #Neuralink
A big part of Neuralink& #39;s potential is giving people the ability supress things like fear and pain. #Neuralink
