Tesla CEO Ayalon Musk revealed this week that the company he founded, Noirlink, was able to implant chips into a monkey’s skull, which caused him to learn to play computer games. He said he used “tiny wires” attached to the monkey’s brain. , Which are not felt at all by him, but only give him the ability to develop the neurons in his brain. Watch Musk’s full interview on the innovative start-up:
In an interview with the social media app Clubhouse, Musk explained that “this is not an unfortunate monkey” because the implant is a nerve built about a tenth the size of her hair. Also, the billionaire, who spoke with about space travel, colonies on Mars, crypto and artificial intelligence, explained that the Noirlink company is trying to decipher whether it is possible to get monkeys to play “Mind Pong” with each other – “it would be pretty cool,” he said.

Also, the team of the Newlink company, which employs about a hundred people, is located in San Francisco and is currently working with the goal of developing an applied computer-brain interface. According to Musk, the company’s goal is to increase the pace of information that can flow from the human brain to a machine, and to illustrate the pace of progress, Musk pointed to the breakthroughs made in the company’s research labs. For example, he cited as an example the “DeepMind” company he founded, which was acquired by Google in 2014, which deals with the development of artificial intelligence.
According to Musk, “With a direct neural interface we can improve the bandwidth between the cerebral cortex and the third layer on different orders of magnitude.” That is, the cerebral cortex is the part that plays the role of memory, attention, perceptual awareness, thought and consciousness, so controlling it with the help of neurons can improve these abilities. In the long run, Musk argues that “Neuralink” could allow humans to communicate through telepathy, and it would even be possible to use their brains to implant it in a robot or any other human.
