We have brain implants since 1997 too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_brain_stimulation They're used to excite brain areas, with some success in granting euphoria to depressed patients, as detailed here: https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2018/03/pleasure-... Neuralink's main innovation is its aim in making the brain implant able to transmit information outward, for use in prosthetics, and yes, mind-to-machine input. The last is what he's going for, allowing us to bypass text-input/voice-input or gesture in favor of directly thinking them. We'll see how much of that aim is able to be done or not, with our current technology. |
