American entrepreneur, billionaire, founder of Tesla and Neuralink Elon Musk announced that in ten years his company's brain chips will be implanted in millions of people.
According to Musk, such an outcome is possible if Neuralink chips show themselves to be positive.
The billionaire wrote on social media X: “If all goes well, millions will be able to use this technology.”
The neurochip in question has currently been implanted in two patients.
Development of technology
The innovation is a coin-sized object that contains electronics and a battery.
The outer threads of the chip are implanted in the motor cortex of the brain. This ensures the transmission of nerve signals from the brain directly to the implant.
The first patient with the Neuralink chip was Nolan Arbaugh, who was diagnosed with paralysis from the shoulders down.
Arbo received his implant at the end of January this year. Today, he uses the technology very actively.
