Elon Musk is developing a new technology that will allow direct communication with machines, thanks to a chip integrated into the brain. The name of the project? : Neuralink It sounds like something out of a science fiction movie, but the project is much more serious than it seems. Neuralink, is a start-up funded by Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX. His goal? Create a chip connected directly to the brain that will be connected to computers. Neuralink wants to concretely improve the brain-machine relationship. Announced during a youtube conference on July 16, Elon Musk has provided a little more details on the project. To the question: "If we implement Neuralink – can we listen to music directly from the chips? "The answer of the concerned was: 'Yes'. If the project succeeds, it would be a spectacular advance, if not essential in our technological evolution. However, the tests have so far only been carried out on animals. In addition, the fleas are not yet perfected. Neuralink wants to start testing on humans from the end of 2020. But, the company does not yet have the authorization of the body responsible for regulating medical devices. In any case, even if the project includes interesting features, it is primarily designed as an aid for people with disabilities. This will allow them to have control over the machines thanks to a connected box connected to the nerve endings. If you are interested in this innovation, Elon Musk plans to reveal more information on August 28, at a conference.
