Preoccupied with rockets and statement on the conveyor new model of Tesla Elon Musk founded another company. According to the report, the Wall Street General Journal , a new project called Mask Neuralink. His goal - to study technologies that will connect the human brain to a computer.
How is he going to do?
Musk takes an active role in the California startup whose ultimate goal is to create a computer embedded in the skull for the treatment of diseases and, ultimately, the creation of a hybrid of man and machine. Previously, the billionaire said that humanity will need the help of artificial intelligence in order to remain competitive with a technique that is becoming smarter.
Neuralink incorporated in California as a medical research company. Reportedly it has hired several experts in the field of Neurotechnology. The process of developing and administering the invention will be similar to that of the Tesla and SpaceX: a working prototype will be built first, and then it will be necessary to check whether the technology is safe for humans. Only then the company will begin a more ambitious goal - to improve the human race by means of computers. Most likely, the first to be developed implants for the treatment of epilepsy, depression or Parkinson's disease. But even if this research is successful, we will have to go a long way before we begin to connect to our AI brain.
