NEURAL  LINK

The news about Elon Musk's neural link so I thought I would make a article No

so when I first heard about the neural link a few years ago I thought it was pie in the sky but after watching the presentation and thinking about it a little bit a lot of this stuff has actually been done before it's nothing new it's just been done a lot better so let's take a look at what the neural link is how it works and the new feature that we could all be facing you are watching ColdFusion TV

in July of 2019 Elon Musk had a

presentation detailing the neural link project earlier in the year on the Joe Rogan podcast musk said that those are big announcement coming and this was it so what is the neural link must states that human cognition has two major systems the limbic system where our emotions needs and once are processed and then the cortex which involves thinking and planning the neural link in its final form is to be a third layer on top of this a digital super intelligence layer augmenting ourselves with

computers and eventually artificial intelligence depending on how you look form of our phones and laptops you've all heard the saying that we have all of the world's information at our

can see the type C cable there directly to phone 

fingertips the bottleneck and all of this is how we interface with that information fingers and speech are too slow and a very low bandwidth form of communication between us and our devices a much faster way to get to this information would be directly this is called the brain machine interface and the neural link is an effort to solve this problem it's already been a massive multidisciplinary effort it includes scientists doctors electrical engineers surgeons and more so how does it work so our brain consists of neurons firing all the time in response to electrical signals sent when we see here move talk or think whenever a neuron fires from these electrical signals a tiny

electromagnetic field is present basically neural link is going to tap into these tiny electric fields

generated as sinus junctions in the brain it's going to interpret this analog data as ones and zeros to be used in the digital world the neuron pulses will be detected using tiny threads about one-tenth the cross section of a human hair or about the size of a neuron each thread is to be installed with a robot so it's not going to burst blood vessels or cause trauma

the needle for insertion is 24 microns in diameter much smaller than the state-of-the-art in deep brain

stimulation such surgeries had been done before for deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's sufferers though these traditional methods have a 1 in 100 chance of causing a severe brain hemorrhage a smaller footprint should make things much safer the state of the art for Parkinson's deep brain

stimulation has around 10 electrodes the neural link contains thousands of electrodes these electrodes need to be less than 60 microns away to detect a fire in neuron and serve as the

interface that reads data from the brain and sends data to the brain

the processor for making all of this work is something called the n1 chip the n1 chip reads analog brain signals amplifies them digitizes them processes them and then sends it out to a pot device behind the ear the pod device is the only thing that's going to be upgraded and the implant stay as they are

remove the pod and everything shuts off the n1 chip is 4 by 5 millimeters low-power and has built-in hardware for processing brain signals it can read 20,000 brain samples per second so these are real raw signals coming from a neural link hooked up to a brain what the scientists are looking for a spikes in voltage when a neuron fires this is the fundamental element of communication within the brain an algorithm can detect these spikes in real-time decode them and make sense that the vast amounts of data coming in the system can not only read data from a signal is run through an electrode near a neuron causing that neuron to fire this kind of thing again isn't new and has been done since the late 1950s it's actually the basic technologies behind the cochlear implant the one that helps restore hearing

the information inputted into the brain doesn't have to be perfect because of neuroplasticity this means the brain learns how to use the new information reading data from the brain and

inputting data into the brain can be an already kind of has been used to treat things like Parkinson's and epilepsy but future applications can include things as far as depression and chronic pain further applications could increase cognitive function and memory

this the proto type of the neural link app 

the original plan for the neural link is to connect for n1 chips with thousands of electrodes are coming from each chip signals will be sent via bluetooth to be controlled by a phone the first goal is to get patients to be able to control a mobile device a phone mouse or computer keyboard the neural link will show up as a regular Bluetooth keyboard or mouse they want to make people fully independent of their caretakers

this sounds lofty but has already been done before with a technology called the Utah Rae with only just a hundred electrodes patients are able to text other people and control tablets with their mind

remember the neural link has thousands of electrodes resulting in a cleaner more reliable signal for more complex applications the first application for the neural link is to tap into the primary motor cortex the part of the brain that sends signals down to the spinal cord and onto the muscles to drive the movement it will start with simple things like a mouse and keyboard but could also be used to read signals from all movement even speech and finally it could be used to restore movement of someone's own body the materials science team wants to use materials or properties that would make the brain not only accept the neural link but think that it's part of itself the team has already released a paper of reading recording and studying data from brains using their n1 chip it's fairly controversial but early tests on monkeys have been successful we wish that we didn't have to work with animals right that we just wish that wasn't like a step in the process and we try to be very careful and thoughtful about it and do it as efficiently as possible because we believe that the benefit to humanity is is in the end like about the benefits outweigh the negatives yeah but we have had made a uh you know monkey has been able to control the computer with his brain just know
