Monkey implanted with 'Neuralink Chip' can now play video games
San Francisco: Founder of SpaceX, Elon Reeve Musk’s Neuralink has implanted a chip into a monkey's brain that enabled it to play video games using his mind.
As per details, Neuralink is focused on human-computer interfaces for artificial intelligence in people and seems to be off to a strong start.
Earlier on Sunday, in an interview at the "Good Time Show" on Clubhouse, Musk claimed that they have got a monkey with a wireless implant in its skull along with tiny wires, enabling it to play video games with its mind.
"One of the things we're trying to figure out is can we have the monkeys play mind 'Pong' with each other, that would be pretty cool," he said adding,
"He's not uncomfortable, and he doesn't look weird, and you can't even see where the neural implant went in."
Last year Neuralink released a video in which it demonstrated its work on a pig named Gertrude. In that video, the company validated its ability to record and try to predict actions based on a wired chip implanted in Gertrude's brain.
However, Musk said the video-game-playing monkey got a wireless chip that enabled it to control an electronic interface with its mind only.
Neuralink Corporation is a neuro technology company founded by Elon Musk and others, developing implantable brain machine interfaces and started in 2016.
