"Elon Musk on Friday unveiled a working prototype of his firm’s much-anticipated brain-implant device — which the billionaire tech tycoon believes can cure everything from blindness to quadriplegia.
In an online presentation, Musk showed off his new Neuralink machine — and even showed off an early version of the gadget that he implanted in a pig.
“I think it’s going to blow your minds,” Musk told viewers. “It’s like a Fitbit in your skull with tiny wires.”
The mind-bending invention — meant to achieve human “symbiosis with artificial intelligence” — removes a “coin-sized” piece of a person’s skull then injects a tiny chip to assist with the motor control and other functions, according to Musk.
The circular chip, injected near the ear, will also allow people to control phones or computers with their minds, according to Neuralink, which featured the live footage on its company website.
During the demonstration, Musk introduced a pig named Gertrude, who he said had successfully undergone a trial for installing device. The poor porker was shown with a tag near her ear — presumably where the device had been injected.
Musk’s demo also showcased a sewing-machine-like robot that installs the microchip by stitching it into the brain using thin electrode-studded wires."
