Paralyzed woman reveals shocking effect of Elon Musk’s Neuralink brain chip
A woman who has been completely paralyzed for the last 20 years has regained Elon Musk’s ability to use a computer by marking a world for Nevralink.
Thanks to Neuralink’s revolutionary implant, Audrey Crews explained how X could write its name on a computer screen.
“ I tried to write my name for the first time in 20 years. I’m working on it. LOL, ‘crew, since 2005, the first attempt to show the X to X sent to X.
Using the brain-computer interface (BCI), the implant receiver has chosen a purple cursor pen to write ‘Audrey’ on the handwriting screen.
Louisiana resident was seriously injured in a 16 -year -old traffic accident, damaging the C4 and C5 vertebrae around her neck, and left a lotiplegic without any feeling in her arms and legs.
The Neuralink procedure implanted a small quarter -sized device to the engine cortex this month and allowed it to control a computer with its mind.
After the surgery, in his writings in X, the teams explained how he could take pictures, he could write words, shifting with a mouse and using a keyboard with the power of his mind.
Responding to positive feedback he received on social media, Crews said he felt that he was liberated, and even when the pictures were using the implant, he started to receive a request for the next step to draw.
Audrey Crews (in the picture) was paralyzed because he had a 16 -year -old traffic accident.
Using a purple pen on the computer screen, Audrey Crews wrote its name for the first time since 2005
Using Neuralink’s brain implant, the crew can now write their name and draw pictures using a special computer interface.
In 2016, Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, founded Neurralink with a group of experts in neuroscience, engineering and robotics.
The aim was to combine human intelligence with AI, treat brain disorders and potentially increase human ability in the future.
In 2019, Musk revealed the N1 implant, a small device placed in the brain to read electrical signals and convert a cursor on a computer screen.
The crew was the ninth person who enters the groundbreaking procedure that allowed severe paralyzed patients or neurological conditions such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) to control electronic devices through telepathy.
“I am the first women in the world, Crew Crews added.
Imagine that your index finger is left -click and a cursor [movement] With your wrist without physically doing it. A normal day using telepathy, ‘ Explained Showing the latest drawings on Sunday.
Neuralink patient was able to draw the hearts, flowers, rainbow and even some faces while pushing the cursor with his thoughts sent to the N1 implant.
The surgery of the crew at Miami University Health Center involved a hole in the skull, so that the surgeons could place a 128 yarn motor cortex from a human hair.
Surgeons drilled a hole in the skull of the crew by placing the N1 implant in the motor cortex.
The brain of the crew detects the implant electrical impulses and sends these signals to a special Nevrarkink program on a computer via Bluetooth
The yarns carried more than 1000 electrodes that detect electrical signals or neurons pointed by a brain cells when a person consider moving. Each thought creates a pattern of a unique brain activity.
The implant is strengthened with a small battery that charges wirelessly. Neuron sends its pointed ends to a computer or smartphone running the software of Neuralink through Bluetooth, which is then converted to commands on the computer.
If he thought that he could do something like this by a person in X, Crews replied: ‘Not in my crazy dreams, but the future is here.’
In Musk He answered a post About the story of the crew: ‘He controls his computer only thinking. Most people don’t realize that it is possible. ‘
The first female neuralink patient said that BCI would not give him the ability to walk again or recover any movement on his limbs, but hopes that this breakthrough would allow him to write a book about his journey.
The crew, “ “ I have been a quartet since the age of 16, so I have a lot to tell, ” Crews explained.
Neuralink’s N1 implant (in the picture) is a quarter in size and dozens of yarn electrodes interpreting neural activity in the brain
The N1 implant is still in early trials and long -term security and effectiveness are tested.
The first person using the N1 implant Noland Arbaugh saw the yarns for the withdrawal of the motor cortex and required Nevrarkink to adjust the device to maintain the connection with the report of the Quadriplegic patient.
Currently, Musk’s imagination is still under planning.
Beyond certain movement duties, such as moving on a screen, they cannot read thoughts’.
However, for the crew and eight other patients, it gives them a part of their independence, which they think is disappeared forever.
