Neuralink, a company affiliated with entrepreneur Elon Musk, has revealed its major project, which revolves around computer brain technology.

The company showed off a device the size of a coin without wires, and Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, brought in 3 pigs, and showed the audience real-time nerve signals from one of the pigs, whom Musk called Gertrude, according to Musk, had undergone a transplant for about two months.

The startup, which was launched in 2016 with mainly funding from Mask, said it aims to implant wireless interfaces between the brain and the computer, by designing flexible strings 10 times thinner than human hair, with the aim of treating brain injuries, as well as enabling coexistence between humans and artificial intelligence.

The design was tested on at least 19 different animals using robots, with a success rate of about 87%, according to the project presentation.

Musk described it as like having a Fit bit fitness bracelet in your skull with small wires, with the ability to pair the device with a smartphone app via Bluetooth Low Energy.

Musk said in July 2019 that he hoped to have a transplant on a human patient by the end of 2020, and during the presentation Musk made some very ambitious claims about the technology's potential.

The company's chief surgeon, Dr. Matthew McDougall, said that Neuralink's first clinical trials in humans will target a small number of paralytic patients.

The company claims a flap to replace a small portion of the human skull can restore limb function, improve human mobility, solve vision and hearing problems, and aid diseases such as Parkinson's disease.

Neuroscientists outside the company said the presentation indicated that Neuralink has made great strides in this area. But they emphasized the need for longer studies.

Musk explained that the operation will not require general anesthesia, and he hopes that the robot will perform the entire surgery in about an hour.

People who get a device, he said, get a small scar after electrodes are inserted all over the brain and neuron signals are read collectively, and if done well, there will be no blood.

It performs massive amounts of data collection from the signals; To teach the Neuralink program how the brain communicates with the rest of the body.
