Elon Musk promises demo of a working Neuralink device on Friday

well lets see that skunk they have wired up,sing a song,or cure cancer.
chew bubblegum and dance at same time!
we could have it setup like nerve and folks join and vote on what trick we want skunky to do.

They wired a skunk?

How crazy is that?

Hopefully by inserting it in his own brain.


Won't be much of a loss anyway, if it fails and fries his brain, the guy is only just above average IQ anyway.

Well, an amoeba is also smaller than a human hair, which means one of those electrodes could transport one in . . . . . .

Funny. That's how he got to space.

How will this correct erectile dysfunction? Will this require a penile Neuralink prosthesis? Will the penile camera cast to my phone & HDTV? I know I need a neuralweiner to augment the night vision activities.

Musk is Holmes 2.0

Transhumanism.

Certainly not a supporter but still curious to find out what this is about.

Neuralink

We're looking forward to seeing you on Friday. We'll post a link to the stream here shortly before it goes live.

Friday, August 28 at 3pm PST.

I bet they are hiding all the possible military applications from public view.

An integrated brain-machine interface platform with thousands of channels
Elon Musk, Neuralink

Abstract

Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) hold promise for the restoration of sensory and motor function and the treatment of neurological disorders, but clinical BMIs have not yet been widely adopted, in part because modest channel counts have limited their potential. In this white paper, we describe Neuralink’s first steps toward a scalable high-bandwidth BMI system. We have built arrays of small and flexible electrode “threads”, with as many as 3,072 electrodes per array distributed across 96 threads. We have also built a neurosurgical robot capable of inserting six threads (192 electrodes) per minute. Each thread can be individually inserted into the brain with micron precision for avoidance of surface vasculature and targeting specific brain regions. The electrode array is packaged into a small implantable device that contains custom chips for low-power on-board amplification and digitization: the package for 3,072 channels occupies less than (23 × 18.5 × 2) mm3. A single USB-C cable provides full-bandwidth data streaming from the device, recording from all channels simultaneously. This system has achieved a spiking yield of up to 70% in chronically implanted electrodes. Neuralink’s approach to BMI has unprecedented packaging density and scalability in a clinically relevant package.

Elon Musk to demonstrate the mark of the beast technology this Friday

Elon Musk Is About to Show Off His Neuralink Brain Implant
Musk tweeted that his “V2” update will blow our minds. But how close is he to putting computer chips in them?

In the mind of Elon Musk, the world’s thorniest problems become shockingly, wonderfully simple. Traffic in LA got you down? Here, take a ride on this underground super-luge. Carbon emissions are stinking up the planet? Fix it with a fleet of electric cars—and while we’re at it, let’s make them drive themselves. Need a backup planet to call home? Mars seems perfectly nice. Musk’s startup Neuralink exhibits this way of thinking best of all: Machines with artificial intelligence are outpacing humankind. Ergo, implant computer chips in human brains to level up the species.

...
Neuralink’s device is a tiny computer chip, meant to be stitched by a “sewing-machine-like” robot into the brain on a network of superfine electrode-studded wires. It is supposed to pick up on signals in the brain and then translate them into motor controls.
