Neuralink’s Brain-Computer Interface: A Breakthrough or a Work in Progress?
Neuralink, the neurotechnology company founded by Elon Musk, has recently released a video showcasing what they claim is the first human patient to receive their brain implant. The footage depicts a person, reportedly fully quadriplegic, playing chess purely through thought. While this achievement signifies a remarkable step forward in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, it also raises important questions about the current state of research, validation, and the broader implications of these developments.
