Part 2/7:
According to Neuralink, the implanted device connects to electrodes embedded in the brain, enabling direct communication between the neural signals and external devices such as computers. In the video, the patient appears to manipulate a chess game solely through mental commands, illustrating the potential for patients with severe disabilities to regain autonomy through neural interfaces.
The implant connects seamlessly to the brain’s neural network and transmits signals to a computer system, allowing for tasks like cursor movement, typing, or gaming to be controlled via thought. Neuralink envisions a future where such implants could interface with smartphones and other electronic devices, possibly transforming human-computer interaction and enhancing capabilities for disabled individuals.
