Elon Musk`s Neuralink shows how monkey plays Pong with his mind, Pager, a nine-year-old macaque monkey, had a Neuralink chip implanted

- “A monkey is literally playing a video game telepathically using a brain chip,” Must said in a tweet. “First @Neuralink product will enable someone with paralysis to use a smartphone with their mind faster than someone using thumbs,” he added. Musk further added: “Later versions will be able to shunt signals from Neuralinks in the brain to Neuralinks in body motor/sensory neuron clusters, thus enabling, for example, paraplegics to walk again”.

Musk said that Neuralink put a computer chip into the monkey’s skull and used “tiny wires” to connect it to its brain. “That would be pretty cool,” said Musk, who is CEO of Neuralink, in addition to SpaceX and Tesla. Headquartered in San Francisco, Neuralink’s team of around 100 people is trying to develop an implementable computer-brain interface.

The aim of Neuralink is to increase the rate at which information can flow from the human brain to a machine.In 2020, the company publicly shared a wireless version of the Link that was able to stream 1,024 channels of action potentials (also called “spikes”) wirelessly and in real-time.
