MUSK CLAIMS HIS NEURALINK CHIP WILL ALLOW YOU TO STREAM MUSIC DIRECTLY TO YOUR BRAIN"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Elon Musk\u2018s mysterious Neuralink startup is working on a brain-computer interface that will allow wearers to stream music directly to their brain, the technology entrepreneur has claimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mr Musk, who also heads SpaceX and Tesla, is set to reveal new information about the mysterious startup next month but has been slowly releasing details over Twitter in recent days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Responding to computer scientist Austin Howard, Mr Musk confirmed that Neuralink\u2019s technology would allow people to \u201clisten to music directly from our chips.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also said that Neuralink \u201ccould help control hormone levels and use them to our advantage (enhanced abilities and reasoning, anxiety relief, etc.).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its founding in 2016, Neuralink has only held one major public presentation about how the technology will work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking at the 2019 event, Mr Musk said the firm was working on a \u201csewing machine-like\u201d device that would provide a direct connection between a computer and a chip inserted within the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The technology could will first be used to help people suffering from brain diseases like Parkinson\u2019s, but the ultimate aim of Neuralink is to allow humans to compete with advanced artificial intelligence, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process of having the chip fitted will be similar to Lasik laser eye surgery, according to Mr Musk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One part of it will involve a neurosurgical robot, which fits flexible \u201cthreads\u201d into the brain connected to a tiny implantable computer chip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/doi.org\/10.1101\/703801\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">research paper<\/a>\u00a0detailing the device claims that a single USB-C cable will provide \u201cfull-bandwidth data streaming\u201d to the brain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neuralink has 11 job postings listed on its website, offering roles for a mechanical engineer, a robotics software engineer, and a \u201chistology technician\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the weekend, Mr Musk made a request for people with specific expertise in wearables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019ve solved hard problems with phones\/ wearables (sealing, signal processing, inductive charging, power management, etc.), please consider working at [Neuralink],\u201d he tweeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this month, Mr Musk hinted that Neuralink\u2019s chip will be able to\u00a0cure depression and addiction\u00a0by \u201cretraining\u201d the parts of the brain responsible for these afflictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trials have already been carried out on animals and human trials were originally scheduled to take place this year, though details are yet to be made public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More information is set to be announced on 28 August.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elon Musk\u2018s mysterious Neuralink startup is working on a brain-computer interface that will allow wearers to stream music
