Elon Musk’s Neuralink Event: Everything Revealed in 10 Minutes

Elon Musk and researchers at Neuralink reveal a series of demos showing the progress in the company's brain-computer interface technologies.

So just imagine NeuroLink is a subscription-based service and you miss a month and they turn off your legs

If you grew up in the 90s/2000s, just think about how insane of a jump it is from rudimentary internet to wifi internet to current gen smartphones is. Absolutely insane progress in only 20 years.

Imagine what life is going to be like just 10 years from now.

I understand how good this can be for those who could really need it, . In the wrong hands, it can be devastating.

How many scans u do on electrical discharge and brain voltage increase

[yyyn]

Don't get me wrong, this is a wonderful advancement that could help a lot of people, but at the same time, it feels like the backstory to a dystopian novel.

[Jacklloydmusic]

This is both exciting and extremely scary at the same time.

These technologies have been around for a while. Stephen Hawking used something similar. Musk is Imo taking it to an advanced level and introducing new functionality.

You can tell Elon is nervous by so much of his stuttering 😂

[rickyholmes]

My little brother had a traumatic brain injury a few years ago and is unable to walk or talk and struggles to do things we normally do. Advances like this is such an amazing thing and I hope that it’ll become affordable! Great work and great hope!

[Alex-Defatte]

I've been reading about this for around 30 years or so. The technology is what's finally catching up.

So its a multiple tens units making the muscle contract and they just program to control how far the muscle moves before setting off another and making the movements.

[nickel]

How do you remove it though? is that even possible? what about the second version when it comes out? does that make the last version obsolete? Just throwing concerns I have.

[boscoblack]

As a physical therapist, this type of work has the potential to bring tears. The hope that this gives to so many individuals suffering with paralysis, as well as their families, is astounding

[air]

As spinal cord injury patient for the last 8 years, this is a glimmer of hope to end my paraplegia. Stem cell research notwithstanding

The opportunities to help those without mobility shows great promise. They already have some brain interfaces now, but this looks smaller and better. The signals basically look like a robust EEG. Getting the signals to actually restore mobility will be the hard part. We can already read brainwaves from the forehead, but much less signal. For the non-disabled it seems like a better idea to focus on VR and AR with brainwave reading capabilities. The things that can go wrong with skull holes and brain strings are vast not to mention hackers that are already prevalent all over the world. Maybe keep it a medical device until the brains are secure. Also, couldn’t an EMP take out a future implanted population?

[Pico_]

Few understand how groundbreaking this development is. Granting vision to a lifelong blind person? This is one of the most important technological advances of human history

[joshharrington]

A universal code of conduct needs to be created for these technologies.

[ryansheufelt]

Where can I buy into this for a stock aspect

[PPK-SLauGHter]

Couldn't this also potentially determine if a coma patient is conscious of their surroundings while comatose or that brain activity exists while they are comatose and have the possibility to recover?
With the family's consent to install the device of course

[sharunsan]

Wether you hate or love this man u gota admit he is pushing the boundaries of innovation and technology instead of simply copying and rebranding even if he fails he'll always have my respect as best visionary of the past 2 decades
