Elon Musk’s Neuralink: what’s science and what’s not - The Verge

Specifically, he wants everyone to get a brain implant — the brain-machine interface created by his company, Neuralink.

Machines that connect to the human brain and translate the electrical signals to a computer have been around since 2006.

Musk’s Neuralink slots into that work: the company developed a system of thin wires that snake into the brain, which may cause less damage than the usual rigid spikes.
