Neuralink is a chip-shaped implant. This implant can be placed in a person’s skull without anesthesia and provides access to brain neurons. It promises to treat neurological problems, cure diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, visual disorders, memory loss, and even cure spinal injuries.
After the vascular map is created with the Neuralink surgical robot, it is placed in an area without vessels. The implanted chip detects brain neurons through cables.
What Does Neuralink Do?
Although Neuralink’s initial promises are promising, what it will do is still controversial.
Although the ability to be implanted without surgery, sending signals to neurons, and curing serious diseases are benign aspects of the project, the fact that it has continuous and systematic access to the human brain raises doubts in scientists and societies.
To briefly talk about what Neuralink will do:
Many neurological diseases remain incurable, although their symptoms can be improved. In diseases related to the brain’s nerves, chemistry and inter-neuron communication, doctors cannot enter the brain and establish a new system. However, their effects on the body can be reduced and various elements can be used to enable the brain to show healthier activity.
The fact that Neuralink, a neurotechnological invention, can directly reach brain neurons through cables is very promising for the cure of some incurable neurological diseases.
Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, visual impairment, memory loss, etc. Various neurological and neurological diseases have the possibility of being cured with Neuralink.
What Does Neuralink Do?
– Vein map is created by surgical robots and the area without veins is detected.
– A chip with a diameter of 23 mm and a thickness of 8 mm is placed in the vascular area of the skull in a procedure as easy as laser eye surgery.
– The implanted chip works with an internet connection and can be controlled by all devices with internet access. Of course, control is provided by the security system only by defined devices.
– The life of the chip battery is one day for now.
– The chip provides access to brain neurons. Neuron access is an indirect way to access a person’s body and mind.
– The chip can access the prostheses of the disabled and offer a more comfortable life.
What is the Purpose of Neuralink?
Neuralink is a project that plans to make human life easier thanks to neurotechnology. Although there are concerns such as surrendering to artificial intelligence, robotization, and our mental control being taken over by others, these concerns are unrealistic for now. Because a technology that takes over human nature and will make this concern come true has not yet been invented. In fact, as understood from Elon Musk’s statements, even the possibility of learning a language with a chip does not seem possible for now. However, the fact that Stephen Hawking was previously able to type on his computer by moving his eyes suggests that this technology may exist. For this reason, Neuralink’s purpose is limited to overcoming neurological diseases. It is debatable what it can achieve in terms of giving commands to the chip with neurons, that is, performing many actions with thought.
