Neuralink 2020: Elon Musk’s new project Neuralink has been making headlines recently, but very little is known about this mysterious company sofar. We’re going to answer the question ‘What is Neuralink?’ and let you know why you should be paying very close attention. So what is Neuralink? Back in 2015, Professor Pedram Mohseni and Rudolph J. Nudo created a startup called ‘NeuraLink’. These pair of neurotech researchers had developed a device that could potentially help people suffering from brain injuries. Investors didn’t show a great deal of interest, but in 2016 a mysterious unknown investor came along with an offer to purchase the rights to the name, Neuralink, for tens of thousands of dollars. They sold, and that investor later turnedout to be multi billionaire, Elon Musk.

Fast forward to the 27th of March 2017 and Musk announces that he will be backing a new brain-computer interface venture, Neuralink. The ultimate goal of this new company is tomerge man with machine, fusing human intelligence with artificial intelligence to bring humanity up to a higher level of cognitive reasoning. Without this technology, Musk argues that humans will be unable to keep pace with advances in artificial intelligence, and that humans will become the intellectual equivalent of the house cat. So far, Musk has been calling this brain-computerinterface technology ‘neural lace’. In essence, neural lace is an ultra-thin mesh that is implanted in the skull, and forms a body of electrodes which are able to monitorbrain function. It’s not entirely clear at this time howfar along the technology is in its development phase. But eventually, neural lace should enablehumans to upload or download information directly from a computer.

Just like Neo from The Matrix, in a matter of minutes you too could proclaim "I know Kung Fu”. In order to insert neural lace, a tiny needle which contains the rolled up mesh is placed inside the skull, whereby the mesh is theninjected. The mesh unravels upon injection, encompassing the brain. Gradually, the neural lace will integrateitself with the human brain, creating a perfect symbiosis between man and machine. So far, neural lace has been tested on livemice. Upon autopsy, researchers found little negative consequences associated with the insertion of this mesh-like structure. However, I’m not sure if I want to be the first human volunteer.

Neuralink Technology:This technology sounds amazing. The ability to hook up our brains with machinesand thereby enhance human intelligence could open up whole new worlds of possibilitiesfor our species. It could even be the catalyst for the almost mythical technological Singularity. More on this another time. However, some critics are raising concernsabout the ethical and real world implications and consequences of this technology. For example, in a world where everyone’s thoughts are connected to the internet, how would this affect our personal privacy? Would authoritarian governments seize up on the opportunity to spy on us or even take control of our minds? And what about computer hackers? Would they be able to exploit vulnerabilitiesin the software of our minds, or inject viruses directly into our consciousness? All of this remains to be seen.

Neuralink Updates:Until then, let’s just be content that Musk’s Neuralink may be able to help the disabled and those suffering from brain injuries to lead more productive and happier lives in the not too distant future.

Do you think you will hook up your brain directly with a computer anytime soon or do you think you will just stick with using your Smartphone for now?
