Recently, Elon Musk. Musk's use of three piglets to showcase his company's latest brain-computer interface product has attracted widespread attention.
the product is understood to have come from Musk's brain-computer science firm Neuralink, a company dedicated to creating implantable human brain devices that use technology to increase brain development capabilities.
at last year's launch, the company showed some preliminary results, when the device was still a wired USB interface, and there were few electrodes to read brain signals, which could only be used in mouse experiments, and a year later Neuralink's brain-computer interface product was upgraded.
the brain-computer interface product, called Linkv0.9, is only the size of a coin and is implanted into the brain to build connections between the brain and the outside world. according to
, the process of implanting the brain can be achieved through a sewing machine-like robot, the operation can be done in less than an hour in a minimally invasive way, Musk also showed the audience a linkv0.9 device has been implanted for two months, but still alive and beating healthy piglets, when the piglet walking in the field, its brain wave signal transmitted to the big screen through the brain interface device, in the form of images and sound to show the audience.
can sense or even improve brain activity if tested in the human body in this way," he said.
," Musk said.
claims that brain-computer interface technology will solve a number of problems, including insomnia, depression, forgetfulness, hearing loss, memory loss, stroke and so on.
but in the eyes of many industry experts, at the current level of technology, this is still a long way from the treatment of human diseases.
If the brain-computer interface is used in the treatment of brain diseases, it is only if the mechanisms and mechanisms of brain disease are clearly worked out in order to crack the meaning behind brain signals and intervene effectively, said Yu Dezhong, director of the Sichuan Institute of Brain Science and Brain Intelligence at the University of Electronic Science and Technology.
" human neuroscience and brain science research has been carried out for hundreds of years, but many mechanisms are far from clear, this process can not suddenly make a breakthrough, certainly step by step.
" at the same time, the brain-computer interface is an interactive process that not only reads brain signals, but also intervenes and treats them.
expert analysis, the neural decoding and coding mechanisms involved behind "reading" and "writing" are still a "black box", and scientists' understanding of the problem is still at a very early stage, with little accumulation.
There are biological experts also pointed out that Neuralink's demonstration in engineering breakthroughs, "such as the brain-computer interface is smaller, more convenient to install, but still just 'looks beautiful', because the brain-computer interface to be practical, it is necessary to resolve useful control signals in the human cerebral cortical layer /neurons, but at present such theories are seriously missing, we do not have the ability to crack the human brain, Musk's demonstration results do not involve this aspect."
" However, Musk revealed that the FDA's approval has been obtained, but some analysts pointed out that the FDA's test license is not difficult to obtain, but from the results shown so far, not enough to convince the review authorities to release human trials, "personal estimates at least need to supplement primate tests such as rhesus monkeys."
the analyst, a team of researchers at the University of Pittsburgh, who is now at the forefront of the brain-computer interface, said, "They've got paraplegic patients working with the trial, and Musk is basically repeating their course."
