What is Neuralink?
Have you ever thought about controlling a computer just by thinking? Well, it's possible now! A company called Neuralink, founded by Elon Musk, has made it happen.
Neuralink's device is as small as a coin and is put in your head. It connects to your brain with tiny wires. With this device, you can control computers using only your thoughts.
The device will be used for various other things in the future! Musk has also said the device will first be used to help people suffering from spinal cord injuries or paralysis. You can read more about Neuralink here. It's still being tested, so not everyone can use it.
Recently, the first person with the Neuralink device did something amazing.
What amazing thing has Neuralink’s first patient done?
Neuralink Corp. recently showed a video of their first patient, a man who couldn't move his arms or legs, playing video games and chess online using only his thoughts.
This special device also helped Noland Arbaugh study Japanese and French online. Before getting this device, he had a hard time using a computer. He had to use a mouth stick or ask his family for help.
Now, he can stay in bed and play games or use the computer whenever he wants. This device is amazing, isn't it? It's almost like having a superpower! For Noland, it's definitely life-changing.
What would the future look like if everyone used Neuralink?
In the future, when everyone has Neuralink, things might change a lot. It's like having a computer in your brain! People could do things just by thinking, like playing games or learning languages super fast. This could help with health and make life easier for people with disabilities.
But what if someone hacks into the device? Could it be dangerous? And how can we keep our thoughts private? We need to do more research before everyone starts using it everywhere.
