Musk's Neuralink has successfully implanted a chip in the human brain


- The US FDA approved human testing in September 2023

- Neuralink's 'Telepathy' product allows users to control computers and smartphones with just their thoughts

- The company aims to implant brain chips on 22 thousand people by the year 2030

- This research will revolutionize the treatment of neurological diseases like Parkinson's and ALS

Washington: World's top businessman Elon Musk's brain chip startup Neuralink has successfully implanted a chip in the brain of a human patient. This is a landmark event for the neurotechnology company. Elon Musk has given historical information on the X platform. Elon Musk's company Neuralink has been working on chipping the human brain for a long time. The company received approval for testing from the US FDA in September. Neuralink's achievement represents a significant advance in the field of neurotechnology, potentially ushering in a new era of human-computer interaction.

The first person to be implanted with a Neuralink chip, known as 'Link', is now on the mend. Musk wrote on the X platform on Sunday that the initial results of the event are promising. Preliminary results show promising neuron spike detection. The National Institutes of Health describes the activity of neurons as spikes. These cells use electrical and chemical signals to send information to the brain and body.

Elon Musk and Neuralink did not provide any further details on when the implant was performed, on which patient or how successful it was. It's not clear how many people were enrolled in the trials, but Neuralink's website says the first human clinical trials are open for enrollment.

The US Food and Drugs Administration last year approved Neuralink's first human trials of implanting its chip. In September, Neuralink said it had received approval to conduct human trials on a paralyzed patient.

Under this test, a robot surgically implants a chip on the brain-computer interface (BCI) part of the human brain. Neuralink has previously stated that its initial goal is to enable people to control a computer cursor or keyboard with just their thoughts. The 'ultra-fine' threads of the implants help transmit signals to the human brain. Neuralink's first product will be called Telepathy.

Regarding telepathy, Elon Musk has said that it will be very useful for people who do not have arms or legs or who cannot work. With the help of this product, users will be able to control computers and smartphones with their brains. This research will revolutionize the treatment of neurological diseases like Parkinson's and ALS. Furthermore, the company aims to enhance human capabilities by promoting a symbiotic relationship between humans and artificial intelligence.

Currently, the company's trial is aimed at working on a wireless brain computer interface. It focuses on the safety of surgical robots and implants. According to media reports, Neuralink selected some volunteers for this and started its trial on them. The previous report has already revealed that the company's goal is to implant brain chips in 22 thousand people by 2030.

Neuralink and Synchron technology differ in BCI technology

Both Neuralink and Synchron are developing brain computer technology. This technology can help patients suffering from Parkinson's and other neurological diseases to live their daily lives with ease. The basic intention of both the companies is to enable humans to use electronic devices including computers, smartphones with just thoughts. Operating in the emerging field of brain computer technology, Neuralink and Synchron differ in their technology. Neuralink works on brain stimulation. He implants electrodes in human brain tissue, which are connected to batteries. These electrodes will modulate or change the neural activity in the brain when needed. Syncran, on the other hand, relies on a stentrode, a device similar to a stent. This device is placed in a blood vessel near the part responsible for movement in the brain. It then sends an electric current to the electrodes in the brain when needed.

A community that has mastered monkey hunting for centuries, there are now only 150 people left

Kathmandu, June 17, 2023, Saturday A community called Raute living in Nepal for centuries is on the verge of extinction. Today only 150 people of this tribe are left. The central mountainous region in Nepal is considered their home. which is near the Himalayas and the southern Terai plains of Nepal. The Raute people live in temporary houses covered with cloth over wood. However, since they live completely cut off from the rest of the world, it becomes difficult to find their abode. The men of the Raute community are adept at hunting monkeys. Once they have followed a monkey, they do not return without hunting. The Raute people sit around a fire at night in winter. What is new is that they consider it a sin to grow seeds in the soil, so instead of farming, they use the grains found naturally in the forest as food. Every day women and children bring grain bearing plants and extract grains from them. They also eat fruits and vegetables that grow naturally. This nomadic species does no

A four-pronged attack by nature in America: first fires, then cyclones, heavy rains, floods and earthquakes

- There are rumors of avian landings, but many are fast asleep - After Canada and Hawaiian Islands, the U.S. There are forest fires in the state, fires in California too, earthquakes after cyclones New York: Nature seems to be at its mercy over America. After Hawaiian Islands and Canada, the forests of Washington state in the north-west of America are on fire, while the cyclone 'tornado' has destroyed food in California. Earthquake tremors have rocked California ever since. Even in Hollywood, heaven on earth, everyone has become fearful. Cyclone 'Heavy' struck over Cape Bani California, south of this cyclonic storm. This long promontory, part of Meshiko, is almost devoid of people. Juj people live by grazing sheep and goats. The entire cape is mountainous. Its western slope towards the Pacific is almost uninhabited, and there are rumors of 'aliens' landing there. Due to heavy rain in Tewa, it has also come out that the mountains are collapsing there.

Israel-Hamas Conflict: Threat of World War III

- The countries of the world are dividing into two parts: China-Russia Vs. America-Europe lobby - Yemen's Houthi rebels' missile, drone attacks thwarted by US Navy: major disaster in Israel averted - Russian fighter jets deployed in the Black Sea against US Navy ships in the Mediterranean Tel Aviv: The war that started between Hamas and Israel is still going on after a fortnight and there is no telling when it will end. In such a situation, new fronts of war against Israel are opening one after another. Amidst these attacks on Israel, the world is dividing into two. America has openly supported Israel while now Hamas has reached out to Russia. The US has landed two warships in the Mediterranean to help Israel, while Russia has deployed fighter jets armed with destructive missiles in the Black Sea. Thus, there is a fear that the world is on the verge of a great war. After the October 7 terrorist attack by Hamas in southern Israel, Hezbollah terrorists from Lebanon have laun
