computer interface of the brain led by Elon Musk, who set out to create neural linkhas so far succeeded in implanting chips in the brains of 2 people. Although these experiments were successful, the participants were able to control the computer by thinking.

Now information has emerged about Neuralink’s next plans. In a statement via X, the company announced that its implant has been approved for a brand new trial.

The robot arm will be used for control

The company’s new tests will use the brain chip to control robotic arms. In this context, for research purposes a robot arm Attempts have been made to control it through implants. we will see. Musk describes this situation as the ‘Luke Skywalker solution’ and evokes the iconic character of Star Wars with a robotic arm.

Neuralink describes its new experiment as “This not only means digital freedom, but also… On the way to regaining physical freedom an important step‘ was described as. There is no information on when the experiments will start.

It is not surprising that such a move comes from the company. One of its main goals is to restore full body movement to individuals who have suffered spinal cord injury or paralysis.
