Neuralink is Update released The company said it has implanted the chip in a second patient in its early clinical trials and “encouragingly” the subject “did not experience any thread retraction.” The Elon Musk-led startup implants chips in people’s brains to allow paralyzed patients to operate devices, browse the internet and play video games with their thoughts. The company implanted the chip in its first patient in January, and although the procedure went smoothly, some of the implant’s connecting threads broke off. Withdrawn After a few weeks, the brain lost signals, which reduced the brain signals the device could receive.
For the second patient, Alex, the company took mitigating measures to prevent the same thing from happening, or at least to reduce the likelihood of it happening. The company says there was less brain movement during the procedure and a smaller gap between the implant and the brain’s surface. So far, the company has not seen any thread retraction in this patient. After the first patient experienced thread retraction, the company revised the algorithm to improve how the implant detects and translates signals. The first patient’s threads stabilized and the implant has since recovered, the company says.
A few weeks after his surgery in July, Alex was already able to use computer-aided design (CAD) software to design a custom mount for his Neuralink charger. The mount was 3D printed, and he added it to his setup. He was also able to play games using the implant in combination with a mouth-operated joystick. Counter-Strike 2 This is more effective as it allows you to move and aim at the same time.
Neuralink says it is currently working on chips that can decode multiple clicks and movements, “providing the full functionality of a mouse or video game controller.” It is also developing algorithms that can recognize a user’s intent to write by hand, which would speed up text entry. This could allow people who cannot speak, such as those with ALS, to communicate more easily with others. Finally, the company plans to give the implant the ability to interact with the real world, so people could use implants to power wheelchairs or robotic hands to eat or clean their homes.
