<h5><strong>What is Neuralink?</strong></h5><p>Neuralink is a neurotechnology company founded by Elon Musk in 2016 that has been developing a brain-computer interface called ‘the Link’. Its goal is to develop implantable brain-machine interfaces, which will essentially merge the human brain with AI. &nbsp;</p><p>They believe these tiny devices could help treat diseases and make us smarter and faster. These devices also have the power to read and record brain activity.</p><p>Recently, Neuralink implanted a chip in its first human brain.</p><h5><strong>How did the chip-implanting operation go?</strong></h5><p>The operation took place on Sunday. According to Elon Musk, the patient is recovering well, and the chip shows promising results in neuron spike detection. Spikes are activity by neurons, cells that use electrical and chemical signals to send information around the brain and the body.</p><p>In the past, Elon Musk was criticised over Neuralink experiments, which were done on animals and caused many of them to die. In one notable experiment, a monkey named Pager (who eventually died) was able to play video games using only its mind, controlling a cursor on a screen.</p><p>These experiments showcased the potential for the technology to enable communication between the brain and external devices without the need for physical movement. It’s said that the chip would allow a person with paralysis to use a smartphone with their mind faster than someone using their thumbs.</p><div class="raw-html-embed"><figure> <iframe width="100%" height="350" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rsCul1sp4hQ?si=06bRBq45Suvk0qH-” title=" monkey="" mindpong"="" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><figcaption>Pager the monkey playing video games.

The company says its device can interpret neural activity so a person can operate a computer or smartphone by simply thinking.</p><p>Brain-computer interfaces have the potential to change lives for the better. Elon Musk wants to augment perfectly healthy people with brain chips so the human race can keep up with artificial intelligence. That's how he has described the ultimate aim of his company, Neuralink.</p><p>Do you agree with Elon Musk’s vision? Do you think it's right to put chips in human brains, or could it lead to disastrous results? Tell us in the comments.<br>&nbsp;</p>

 In the past, Neuralink has conducted experiments on many animal brains.
