Elon Musk's Neuralink Device Helps Monkey See Something That's Not There
Elon Musk's Neuralink Corp used a brain implant to enable a monkey to see something that wasn't physically there, according to an engineer, as it moves toward its goal of helping blind people see.
Elon Musk's brain implant startup Neuralink has used a brain implant to make a monkey see something that wasn't physically there, in a major step toward helping blind people see, the company said.
The company has conducted further tests of the Blindsight neural implant. This time, the device allowed a monkey to see an object that was physically absent from its field of vision.
A group of Chinese researchers have reportedly invented a lens that will enable people to see light that our eyes normally cannot detect. Even with their eyes closed.
Neuralink Device Helps Monkey See Something That’s Not There
Neuralink's "Blindsight" brain implant allowed a monkey to "see" absent objects, in a sign that the company has made progress toward helping visually impaired persons. Neuralink engineer Joseph O'Doherty revealed the device stimulated visual brain regions, causing targeted eye movements two-thirds of the time.
