Weather of Arabia - Billionaire Elon Musk revealed significant progress in the case of the patient who had a brain chip installed, as he confirmed that he is recovering well after announcing last month that he had performed the first implantation of a brain chip produced by his emerging company , Neuralink . Musk explained that the patient has completely recovered without any side effects, and that he is now able to control the movement of the mouse on the screen simply by thinking. Musk announced this during his participation in the Spaces event via the “X” platform, noting that they are currently working on developing technologies that allow individuals to control Devices by thinking without having to press buttons.

What is Neuralink?

"Neuralink" is considered one of many groups that work to connect the nervous system to computers, and seeks to help treat brain disorders, overcome brain injuries, and achieve other applications. The "Neuralink" device consists of a device approximately the size of a large coin, and is designed to be implanted in the skull. , with very thin wires connected directly to the brain.

In its announcement last September (2023), the company explained that the wires will be surgically placed in an area of the brain that controls movement intention. The initial goal of the brain-computer interface is to give individuals the ability to control a computer cursor or keyboard using their thoughts alone.

However, it is still unclear how well this device or similar interfaces will ultimately work, or how safe they are. This technology remains in the development stage, and it is important to conduct more research and testing to determine its effectiveness and full safety before it is widely used in society.
