    Subject : Science and Technology

    Context-

    WHAT IS NEURALINK DEVELOPING?

    • Founded in 2016 by Musk and a group of engineers, Neuralink is building a brain chip interface that can be implanted within the skull, which it says could eventually help disabled patients to move and communicate again, and also restore vision.
    • Neuralink’s device has a chip that processes and transmits neural signals that could be transmitted to devices like a computer or a phone.
    • Neuralink believes its device will be able to restore neural activity inside the body, allowing those with spinal cord injuries to move limbs and aspires to cure neurological conditions such as Alzheimer’s and dementia.

    WHAT PROGRESS HAS NEURALINK MADE?

    • In 2021 it showed a macaque playing a simple videogame after being implanted with a brain chip.
    • Neuralink has yet to secure U.S. regulatory approval to move to human trials.
