Elon Musk has expanded his multimillionaire universe to place never before visited. What seemed like a science fiction film a few years ago, in these moments it is part of reality. Throughout the last days we met the experience of the first case of a man with an implanted chip. This individual, who suffered paralysis before the implementation of the technological componenthe presented in an interview for the BBC his opinions regarding this new invention with a favorable attitude for it. “I thought that if everything went well, I could help participating in Neuralink. And if something terrible happened, I knew they would learn from it,” he said.
Therefore, with a view to extending your field of action. The company planned the implementation of these devices to a social mass of thirty people in the tour of this 2025. Although we are in April, the information we have regarding the practical action of this exercise is still, in large part, an unknown. However, We already know the functioning of how these chips operate in the human organism. The name that receives this project, and therefore physical devices is “Telephy”.
What is Telephy like? Elon Musk chip
Neuralink’s work goes through the possibility of transferring information from the brain to the outside, since the proven chips operated in the opposite direction. Neuralink’s object of action is, on the one hand, to restore the vision and another to restore basic body functions for all those who have lost their limbs. For its part, Elon Musk defined the product as follows: “Allows you to control your phone or computer, and through them almost any device, just thinking“. The first experiments of this proposal were treated with animals such as monkeys getting results.
The implantation process addresses a small chip hermetically sealed directly in the brain. As such, The chip is connected to 1,024 electrodes of an extremely tiny size. Its operation also includes a battery that can be recharged wirelessly.
The first man to implant a Neuralink chip
Nine months after the administration of drugs and food was approved to the chip of Elon Musk, it was implanted in the first human since its creation in early 2024. After more than a year of experience, Noland Arbaugh, which is the name that the patient receives, spoke unsuccessfully about everything he had lived during this period. It should be noted that his decision was guided by the hope generated by the work and not for his similarities with the Tesla tycoon. “I do not consider it an Elon Musk device. It belongs to scientists and science“, he says.
After years of disability, on the occasion of the accident he suffered in 2016, he explained that “It is difficult to explain what it means to have some control again“. Although, after the analysis of everything that happened, the work was declared as a resounding success by the company in charge, it should be noted that for a very brief period of time, the chip was disconnected creating a slight failure in the system. In this sense, the impact of the moment was such that Arbaugh expressed his confusion when losing control with the realization of this action. happen in the future.
