🧠 Musk announced: Brain-computer interface technology has become popular, and the future surgery will only take 10 minutes!
With the development of brain-computer interface technology, the concept of implanting chips in the brain is no longer a dream in science fiction, but is gradually becoming a reality!
On October 29, Elon Musk revealed at the Neurosurgeons Conference that his Neuralink company is making brain-computer interface technology more accessible and affordable. In the future, it may only cost $5,000, including the cost of surgery!
Musk said that their goal is to make these brain-computer interface devices affordable to most people, and once mass-produced, the price can be even lower. Isn’t it a little expected?
When it comes to price, Musk predicts that after mass production, the price of these devices may be between $1,000 and $2,000, just like smartphones. The overall cost, including the cost of surgery, may only cost about $5,000 in the end, just as simple as laser myopia surgery.
Moreover, the operation process is super fast! Musk mentioned a "600-second surgery" plan, where the patient only needs to sit in a chair and the robot can complete the implant in 10 minutes. Sounds like the medical technology of the future, right?
According to reports, Neuralink has received multiple rounds of financing since its establishment in 2016, with a valuation of more than $5 billion. They have successfully implanted brain-computer interfaces in two patients, and their recovery is progressing well, and they have begun to learn to use 3D modeling software.
Musk also said that he expects to complete 10 operations by the end of this year, and the goal is to reach 1,000 by 2026. This speed and ambition are worthy of Musk!
In short, brain-computer interface technology is rapidly moving from science fiction to reality, and Musk's Neuralink company is making it all within reach!
🗣 Conclusion:
Brain-computer interface technology is leading us into a new era of treating diseases, enhancing abilities, and triggering ethical discussions. We must not only advance cautiously, but also look forward to creating a future together.
