Do monkeys play video games?

More recently, the news about the implantation of a chip in the brain of a monkey was discussed on the Internet. Elon Musk can be proud of his startup, as it shows good results. The Neuralink neurotechnology was successfully implanted in the monkey's brain, after which it was able to play games using the "power of thought". According to Bloomberg, this was told by Elon himself.

Musk spoke in the Clubhouse chat and announced the following: "We have a monkey with a wireless chip in its brain. Now she can play video games with her mind." The billionaire also added that the next stage will be to teach the monkeys to play mental ping-pong with each other.

The implant itself is tiny, with tiny wires (smaller than a human hair) entering the brain.

The Neuralink project, founded by Elon Musk, was launched in 2016. It aims to create a chip that can solve cognitive problems in patients who have the following

ie diagnoses: paralysis, senile dementia, chronic insomnia, depression, Alzheimer's disease, hearing loss, etc. The biotech project has already attracted more than $ 150 million, 100 of which was invested by Elon personally.

In August last year, the results of the work were presented for the first time. We were shown three pigs. One was with an implanted chip, the second did not have it, as it was removed to demonstrate safe extraction. The third individual did not take an active part.

We believe that Elon Musk will succeed in this field!
