Scientists from the University of Washington commented on the dream of American billionaire Elon Musk to make human vision perfect with the help of Blindsight implants.

The above development is in the process of being created. It is a cortical implant.

British experts emphasized: “The restoration of completely lost vision using such technology seems doubtful,” as reported in the scientific journal Nature .

According to scientists, Musk has no idea about how the brain works and how brain functions regulate vision.

Experts' answer

The researchers emphasized: "Vision is not a set of pixels. Restoring a person's ability to see is much more difficult than it might seem at first glance."

As experts emphasized, modern technology is hardly capable of rising to the level of living tissue.

According to Musk himself, the Blindsight implant will make it possible to have artificial vision.

The billionaire explained: “The quality of vision will be low, like in the early graphics of the Nintendo console, but this is only at first.”
