According to an engineer, Elon Musk’s neuralnic corporation used a brain implant to enable a monkey to see something that was not physically there, as it moves towards its purpose to help blind people.
Nurelink engineer Joseph O’Orthiti said at a conference on Friday that the device, blindsite, which has a monkey -inspired area, said at a conference at a conference on Friday. At least two -thirds, the monkey moved his eyes towards something that researchers were trying to imagine.
The results were that the neurlenic has previously promoted blinds tests, a brain chip that imitates eye functioning. This is a close -viewed frontier for mental device development, a scientific field that is testing the limits of how technology can be used to treat potentially complex conditions.
As like all animal studies, it is an open question on how the consequences will apply to humans. The device is not approved for human use in the United States.
The short-term target of blindsite is to help people look, and the long-term goal is to facilitate the supernatural ideology-as it is said in infrastructure. The company said in March that the company has been examining blindfolds for monkeys for the past few years and is hoping to test it in humans this year.
On the sidelines of the conference, O Durati refused to comment further about the work of neurlanic.
Neurillink is also applying devices in people who are paralyzed that allow one of the growing technical sector to have a direct conversation with a computer.
Mask has said that five people have received neurlanic implants so far. According to the O and Doharti’s offer at the Nervous Interface Conference, three were planted in 2024 and two in 2025. In some cases, the patients use their neuronic device for about 60 hours a week.
Musk has said that in the future, brain devices using similar technology can allow paralyzed people to move or walk. O Deriti jointly authored a poster with educational researchers, presented at the conference, explaining an experiment that used a neurlinic implant to stimulate the monkey’s spinal cord, which led to its muscles. Other researchers have been working on the spinal stimulation to restore muscle movement for many years.
Musk’s medical aspirations are a step -by -step stone towards everyone to increase the speed of human communication, which allows people to “reduce the risk of digital super intelligence,” Musk said in 2024. They are also building artificial intelligence through their company Zee Corporation.
“Finally, the company wants the blindsite system to add a pair to a couple to help work,” O Dohari said in his conversation.
Monkeys have the benefits of testing. The visual cortex in a monkey is closer to the brain’s surface, which makes it easier to access, said O Dohari. He added that Nurelink can use his surgical robot to enter a person’s brain to enter his implant in deep areas.
