Billionaire entrepreneur launches Neuralink to focus on transmitting signals between the brain and computers, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Elon Musk is looking to transmit signals between computers and the human brain.
Elon Musk believes we are ready for a mind meld, but instead of connecting the brains of two Vulcans, a la “Star Trek,” the billionaire entrepreneur wants to link human brains with computers.
The CEO of SpaceX and Tesla Motors is exploring just such a connection through another company he has launched, called Neuralink, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday. Musk has taken an active role in developing what he calls “neural lace” technology, which involves installing tiny electrodes in the brain to transmit thoughts.
It wasn’t clear what type of products the company will produce, but they are expected to have medical applications, such treating as brain disorders like epilepsy or major depression.
