Neuralink, a new Neuro-technology aims to package it into a coin-sized implant and take it to the masses. The implant would not just let humans interact with computers through thought, but also augment the nervous system.

Elon Musk is the man behind this wonderful research project. His idea was to let humans control a computer just by thought, if everything goes according to Musk’s plan, we have something special here.

Neuron-technology is the next level of biomechanics and bioelectronics, a method or electronic device which interfaces with the nervous system to monitor or modulate neural activity.

We already have some form of Neurotechnology in our day to day lives, for example: cochlear implants and retinal implants that enable deaf patients to hear a little, and blind patients to have some level of sight.

Brain computer interface allows humans to interact with computers just by thought. Although this might seem too farfetched, there have been technologies that have allowed users to interact with computers without any physical I/O device. we are becoming a hybrid between human and robotics. Neuralink hopes to speed that process up.

Musk hopes that these implants will get much better over time as more and more startups start working along with Neuralink.

Neuralink hopes to deal with memory loss, hearing loss, blindness, paralysis, insomnia, extreme pain, seizures, addiction, strokes and brain tissue damage.

Technology that Neuralink uses has been there for ages. What is new with Elon Musk’s company is that it has condensed the tech into a small implantable package and is aiming to distribute it to the masses in an affordable and upgradeable manner.

Elon Musk’s Neuralink has the potential to truly revolutionize modern medicine depending on how the FDA trials and clinical trials go.

Neuralink’s success will emerge as the single most revolutionary invention in the field of modern medicine and biotechnology for decades to come.
