For a father who has a son that suffers from a rare genetic disorder in the brain which causes bouts of debilitating epilepsy, this type of thing gives me hope and maybe soon bring some treatment to allow him to regain some function and movement back for my son and possibly help aid controlling his seizures WITHOUT medication. This will help tremendously for all other people in similar situations like ours, and aid in a loved one or themselves, and open the door to many more applications. I cry with tears of hope and joy.

I too am a veteran, Vietnam, and there's already a solution for most of these disorders. Stop doing war. No matter what they tell us there is no justification for it. The vast majority of people everywhere are fine, decent human beings who would rather get on with each other. However there are a handful of people, also everywhere, who make a vast amount of money out of us not getting on with each other. You rarely find them putting themselves in harm's way, that's left to us. There's evidence that over 90% of humans have what amounts to a genetic aversion to killing other humans. We can be taught to, something that's become very refined over recent decades, but doing such things against our genetic inclinations will inevitably cause trauma and we're clearly seeing the evidence of this amongst our veterans. War is not good for people and other living things.

[@CaptainCody7]

I love the two-photon microscopy of the electrodes firing. Try and record or in this case watch the neurons firing during various motor and sensory activities. Try and mimic that exact response using a series of individually placed electrodes. Get good at doing this with precise accuracy. Your design will be better for it when you go to a human trial. It is much harder to guess the activity and response of so many neurons from spike data. You have almost the entire story with the microscopy. Yes, you have way to insert the leads without causing much damage. However, I imagine you only get one shot at placing them in arbitrary locations. This way the architecture of electrode placement will have a better chance of natural responses. By architecture I mean the spacing and depth of the electrodes to allow the desired response as often as possible within the allowable min and max current delivered. An empirical data set would be naturally verified so seems like a great option if the stimulated response is repeatable while changing one variable at a time. Otherwise, testing can be used to verify and multivariable optimization can be used to predict a given electrodes spacing chance of getting precise responses. Why should you take my suggestion? In the future, we can only send messages back over select internet servers...

[@SahilP2648]

I don't know if you can answer this but as per my understanding a normal human brain has something along the lines of 100 billion neurons. They said they have a thousand channels so they can maybe stimulate 100,000 neurons which is way lower than our maximum capacity. Plus it seems like it's triggering multiple neurons using one electrode which means the accuracy is just not there since we want control over a single neuron ideally. Plus the electrical signals of neurons are analog afaik, not digital, and those electrodes are emitting digital signals afaik. All this would mean that apart from some sensory stimulus, we won't be able to control say the fingers of a hand or have finer motions we are familiar with like twisting a screw, let alone restoring eyesight and downloading and uploading memories and what not. I am optimistic but more than anything I am a realist. All this doesn't make sense to me.

[@CaptainCody7]

@@SahilP2648 Thanks for the question. Your comment highlights many problems with today's methods. Interestingly one neuron can control up to one degree of freedom. So recording single-cell spike data with around 200 channels can get decent motor control of a robotic arm and hand. A sensory stimulus can be given to an area but not with a natural feeling using "current" methods. Uploading and downloading memories has not been worked on much. I have an understanding of how to do it but would be too long to explain fully. Basically, though BCI has limitations due to channel count. The desired circuit needs to be imaged with nanoscale resolution. The circuit then needs to be replicated. And yes the function would be similar to analog and few scientists are modeling it that way.

I wonder how much corollary abstraction of 'spikes' might be achieved through off-platform modeling. I suppose it would depend on the sensor array config and the models ability to match the brain. There's a lot of real estate to cover and a lot of potential applications. Early success might be dependent on limiting the scope, having a proper density of arrays, and focusing on your model so you can differentiate all your states. I imagine early devices will also be read heavy, taking a light handed approach to brain input.

[@rba5567]

I think that would require some sort of bidirectional communication with the muscle. As far as I understand pain, it seems subjective. One person's pain maybe another person's minor inconvenience. Also having that brain implant it would have to communicate with something on the other side of the break in signal. In the case of a paraplegic, you would have to have another receiving device on the lower end of the break in signal to stimulate the muscle into contraction.

So, no one asks about the heating problem of the device? In passive state the device will have normal body temperature. But while transferring alot of data or charging the device can heat up which may cause some damage to brain tissue.

[@subhajitroychowdhury5734]

The tech is similar to first generation telephones. But image when the device will go very easily and blend without surgery The implanting device will be handheld. Wow... Kudos musk.

[@lp8850]

Wouldn't a MRI try to pull that out of your head because of the powerful magnet

[@justsomeguy892]

Probably, but ideally you would be able to take it out. A few months ago Elon said one of his long term goals is to make is as easy (and quick) to get as Lasik eye surgery, and if that's the case, it'll probably be easy enough to remove.

[@justsomeguy892]

I’m wondering in the research and development if you are monitoring hormone levels and reactions, curtain glucose levels and thing like this?

[@rob86353]

I absolutely love this. This can be seen as the next step in our evolution as tool users. The purposeful application of stones and spears allowed us to conquer the world - taking minds and allowing consciousness to enact itself directly... It's going to be weird, and with time, it will be marvelous. I would be curious how intellectual sandboxing might be achieved, in the context of a neural network that can and will be interacting with other systems. Memories are a configuration of connections within the brain - so if memories can be restored, that implies a remapping of potentials. A format and load event. Taking this technology to it's end potential, whole brain connectivity, how might we protect ourself from overwrite. (To those that might be familiar with the show Dollhouse, I am asking this: how do we avoid an "Epitaph One" scenario.)

[@carriestrickland4876]

I Know myself and I normally would have never considered having an implant like this but due to my incomplete paralysis and per my consistently feeling like I'm burning alive on fire every single moment I'm awake. I need to find out how to get on the list to stop the burning. Thank you.

[@josealeman8610]

Pharmaceutical corporations will hate this. It could be a life changer for those suffering chronic pain or even terminal diseases. The amount of money spent worldwide on addictive painkillers is ridiculous and tragic. Its only beginning but the people working at Neuralink seemed extremely smart, capable and responsible. As long as they keep good practices and are well regulated this could one of the biggest positive breakthroughs for humanity.

[@jnselima4404]

@@iakb334 yes indeed, I do have mixed feelings about this. I'm at the same time excited and scared. I'm excited because this will change the course of history, it will lead to the development of the human spices and will help millions of people with chronic diseases. I'm scared because people are greedy, scary and opportunistic, this device will give them an unlimited power. Like when they first invented gunpowder, they believed it will help humanity but look at the billions that have died due to people using it to serve their selfish ambitions.
