Monkey MindPong Picture-in-Picture

Extended MindPong with neural activity overlay.

[SolvingTheMoneyProblem]

If anyone is wondering: "Each row in the top panel represents the neural activity recorded from one electrode. The top 100 electrodes with the strongest upward preferred directions are shown in blue, and the 100 electrodes with the strongest downward preferred directions are shown in red. Brighter colors indicate higher firing rates. In the bottom trace, the yellow line indicates the vertical velocity of the MindPong paddle that results from the decoded neural activity in the top panel."

Imagine playing games while drinking banana milkshake!

When my brother told me that a monkey could beat me at pong, actually, he wasn’t kidding...

[KetanSingh]

Drinking milkshakes all day while playing mindpong. Not a bad life!

Imagine summoning your Tesla by just thinking about needing a ride

That's cruel...show him the score!

This creature literally woke up one day to realize it could control a part of the world around it simply by thinking about it. It has no idea why or how. It had a headache for a couple days, and then it just happened.

that must be one hell of a banana smoothie

oh my god.

most people wont realise how special what you just saw was. you will remember seeing this for the rest of your life.

What if in the future we could use this to communicate with animals in some way? I know there are plans to rehabilitate people who are paralyzed but this is the start of something incredible. Just witnessing this is blowing my mind in every capacity, this is some sci fi becoming reality type of thing here, absolutely amazing

Imagine you would be playing (and probably feeling) a character in a game, you could actually feel the pain/love and all the other things a character can feel in the game (Imagine playing Life is Strange or Bioshock or GTA) this is literally mind-blowing.

Is it ok for me to tear up at this amazing milestone in science. The data flow problem for humans will be solved because of this wow

[defcon]

Seeing a monkey play pong as good or better than I can really helps to represent the intelligence of animals.

[AmbientMelancholyGames]

Making video games based on Neuralink is so intriguing to me... can't wait to get my hands on it and work on some projects. Hope it will come out before I get too old... I feel like it expands the possibilities of gaming so much. How easy would be for anyone to join in and not just watch anymore, but play... Like having a whole cinema playing a 200-player game together. Endless possibilities..just wow...

Technically he's the best player of his species

[michaeldunn]

YungThug is constantly motioning slightly with his head and even sometimes his right hand/upper body in the direction he envisions the ball to go, and how he imagines whacking it that way. Absolutely incredible

[akshaymali]

We've reached a point where science feels like magic
