Neuralink Device Helps Monkey See Something That’s Not There
Neuralink's "Blindsight" brain implant is said to have enabled a monkey to perceive non-existent objects, a step toward aiding the blind. Engineer Joseph O'Doherty stated the device stimulated visual brain areas, prompting eye movements towards "visualised" targets two-thirds of the time. Neuralink's first public data on Blindsight, a chip mimickin...

69-Year-Old Man with Paralysis Flies Virtual Drone Using Brain Implant
A 69-year-old man, paralysed in all four limbs, has piloted a virtual drone using a brain-computer interface (BCI). By imagining movements of his fingers, the man controlled a drone through a complex virtual obstacle course. This development marks a significant step in improving BCI technology, potentially enabling paralysed individuals to perform ...

Neuralink Brain Chip Implant Wires Now Stable in First Patient, Musk Hopes for More Human Trials This Year
Neuralink's first brain chip implant in a human has stabalised, company executives have confirmed this week. The device works by using tiny wires, which are thinner than a human hair, to capture signals from the brain and translate those into actions such as moving a mouse cursor on a computer screen.
