Musk got to go hog-wild, showcasing test subject pigs who had the Neuralink brain implant installed.
Looking inside the device, it has a variety of sensors and specifications. According to the Neuralink imagery, the “Link” will have a 6-axis IMU for collecting location data. Along with this, the link will also measure temperature and pressure, among other data points. Musk then likens the Neuralink to a smartwatch or smartphone with the sensors that are embedded. Like a smart device, the link will also charge by induction, so one can charge the device like a Qi-enabled wireless charging device. Overall, they are excited about the possibilities with medical applications and “convenience features” like playing music in your head. The next major part of the livestream was when they brought out the animal test subjects. First up was Joyce, the pig, who was the control.
