Neuralink plans to implant its first Blindsight vision chip in a human by the end of the year, enabling vision for those born blind, according to Elon Musk. The device could eventually surpass natural vision, allowing users to see in infrared, ultraviolet, and radar ranges.
Neuralink, the brain-computer interface company founded by Elon Musk, is set to implant its first Blindsight vision chip in a human by the end of this year.
Musk confirmed the groundbreaking development, stating that the implant will enable vision for individuals who were born blind.
“Neuralink’s Blindsight device will enable vision even for those who’ve lost both eyes and their optic nerves,” Musk announced. He emphasised that the implant's functionality relies on the integrity of the brain’s visual cortex.
Looking ahead, Musk suggested that the Blindsight device could potentially surpass natural human vision. Future users of the implant may gain the ability to see in infrared, ultraviolet, and even radar (radio frequency) ranges, expanding the boundaries of human perception.
This innovative technology marks a significant step forward in the field of neural interfaces and holds promise for transforming the lives of those with visual impairments.
