The neurotechnology company Neuralink, owned by Elon Musk, will start clinical trials to implant a chip into the human brain to control a computer and smartphone without the help of hands, writes the TASS agency.
Preliminary tests for implanting chips in the brains of monkeys in 2021 were successful - the experimental monkey learned to move the cursor around the screen without the help of a joystick.
The Neuralink project, created by Musk in 2016, brought together the best experts in the development of neural interfaces and the creation of robots that permit electrodes to be implanted into the brain automatically. Musk believes that with the development of these technologies, a person will become practically a cyborg, able to resist artificial intelligence and control computers from a distance with only the power of thought.
