Neuralink
Neuralink Origin:
In 2015 professor Pedram Mohseni and Rudolph J. Nudo started a startup called neuralink.
These researchers had developed a device that can help people suffering from brain injury.
When they were looking for investors no one shows any interest on their project. In 2016 Elon musk bought this startup.
In 2017 Elon musk announces that he is going to start a new venture that interface human brain and computer.
Goal of Neuralink:
The main goal of neuralink is to connect human intelligence with machine.
According to Elon AI (Artificial Intelligence) is the biggest threat for humans.
As AI is been advancing rapidly it is becoming too smart than human day by day.
But neuralink can help to override AI by linking human brain and machine.
Musk has been calling this technology as neural lace.
Neural lace:
Neural lace is a thin mesh injected into the skull which monitors the function of the brain and it will be wirelessly transfer data to a computer.
So far we don’t know how much does technology is developed.
As far as it is informed neural lace will help a human to upload and download data directly from a computer like in a science fiction movies.
Until now neural lace is been tested on live mouse. Researchers have found little negative side effects with in the mouse.
More than this it is just a beginning for a huge invention in the industry.
Application of neuralink:
The medical application of neuralink is to help the disabled and persons suffering from brain injuries such as alzheimers, parkinsons, seizures.
Others opinion
Scientists says that with today’s technology we will not be able to download information into our brain in a day and become a Einstein.
And in the beginning it is a risk for human to get brain surgery with current technology.
But Elon musk is very confident that neuralink will be a the solution to beat Artificial intelligence.
Career option in Neuralink:
The company is developing ultra high band width interface between brain and computer machine. They are looking for engineers and scientists and the job is for full time in San Francisco.
