Neurolink is an ambitious, futuristic project headed by one of the most brightest minds of our time – Elon Musk. The aim of this project is to create a brain-machine interface (BMI) which would allow humans to communicate with machines and each other instantly, without any barriers. Neurolink seeks to do this by implanting tiny brain electrodes into the cortex of the brain.<\/p>\n

The technology behind Neurolink is designed to be non-invasive and FDA approved. It uses proprietary nanotechnology called ‘threads’ which are tiny, flexible, stainless steel probes approximately four to six micrometers in width, thinner than a human hair.The threads are designed to be inserted into the brain through a small hole in the skull and ultimately detect electrical signals sent from neurons within the brain.The idea is for people to then access whatever information is stored in the brain. This could hypothetically allow people to upload data, control machines and move robots with just the power of their mind.<\/p>\n

Neurolink is also seeking to bridge the gap between biology and technology. By documenting fine changes in neural circuitry that are impossible to find with conventional medical scans, researchers could potentially unlock the secrets of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, and even help those living with paralysis regain movement.<\/p>\n

An expert in neurotechnology, Professor Hilary Lee of the University of Bristol, states that it is still early days for neurolink and the technology still needs much research and development before it becomes commercially available. She also emphasizes that one challenge will be to reduce the potential risks of the technology and safely integrate it into our bodies. <\/p>\n
