Most diseases or brain problems, I think it can be solved through neuralink.
This is the words of Musks speech at the 2024th Conference of Neurosurgery (CNS 2024).He said, "Imagine the brain as a circuit board, it is a bit short or missing, and we can repair these problems."
Like "Iron Man" in the movie, Elon Musk is also " Save the World " in his own way.Bringing the gospel to the disabled in this world is in Musks plan, and it is quite advanced.

The main goal of Neuralink is to establish brain -machine interfaces by implanting chips, electrodes and other devices to the human brain, and directly control external devices with a brain biological electrical signal to help patients with visual or action disorders.
This technology allows the machine to obtain the intention of the brain by reading the electromagnetic signal generated by neurological activity, thereby achieving external devices such as mobile phones, computers, and robotics.
In addition, the machine can also enter the information to the brain through electrical stimulation of a specific neurons cluster, convert images and sounds into neuros signals, directly input the brain -related cortex, and then bring the related cortex of the brain, and then bring the related cortex of the brain.Come on the subjective experience of vision and hearing.
The first product of neuralink was named " Mind Infointment " ( Telepathy ).According to Musk, this product allows people to control their mobile phones or computers through ideas and control almost all other devices through these devices.

The first subject was named Noland Arbaugh. He suffered a diving accident in 2016 and caused limbs paralysis due to spinal cord injuries.After the person who entered the brain interface device called "N1", the subject recovered well after surgery, and he could use the brain -machine interface to watch daily activities such as watching videos, reading and playing video games.
However, after a period of time, there are some problems with the implant in the Noland ArbawaGH brain: some wiring retracted from his sports cortex, affecting the information transmission rate, resulting in the captured datareduce.
As a countermeasure, Neuralinks engineers improve the number of digits per second to improve the performance of the equipment.

Neuralinks second subject is Alex, who was once a car technician, and also lost his ability to move because of spinal cord injuries.Alex implant is called "link".In order to avoid the " thread retraction " problem of the first subject, Neuralink optimized the operation and process of surgery, reduced the brain movement during the surgery, reduced the implant and the surface of the brain surfaceThe gap between the interval and deepened the implantation depth.
Sayingly, after 5 minutes of connecting the brain interface to the computer, Alex learned to control the movement of the cursor with ideas.
At present, Alex has learned to use the brain machine interface to operate the CAD drawing software, design a 3D printed charging stand for its own brain machine interface, and play FPS such as "CS2" (No. 1 "(No. 1" (No. 1 "(No. 1" (No. 1One person is called shooting) game.Moreover, the "thread retraction" problem did not observe after surgery.In this regard, Alex is very emotional:
The link is a big step I took on the road of freedom and independence.

Neuralink is expanding the control option of using digital devices, including decoding multiple clicks and multiple mobile intentions to provide a complete mouse and video game controller function; at the same time, they are also developing algorithms to identify handwriting handwriting handwritingIntent to enter the text faster.In the future, the Neuralink plan enables Link to interact with the physical world, and users can eat and move independently by controlling robotic arms or wheelchairs.
It is reported that the next -generation product of Neuralink is called " Blinds " ( BlindSight ), It is expected to help lose your eyes.Seeing the light with the optic nerve, even those who are born blindly to see the world for the first time.

In this regard, Anand Mahindra, an Indian industrialist, said "if this device can meet the expectations", then this will be Musks " the most lasting gift for humans,
