Neuralink has aroused a lot of controversy since the company's inception, but Elon Musk insists that the development of implants, integrated circuits that will increase the potential of the human brain, can bring many benefits.

The company is to develop implants that will "stimulate" damaged parts of the brain so that it will be possible to help paralyzed people. Elon Musk also wants to use them to "heal" depression and " solve the problem of autism and schizophrenia ".

However, the billionaire also has many other ideas, including making it possible to send music directly to the brain with the help of chips. So far, the monkey has been successfully implanted with the Neuralink system, and the first results of the test have positively surprised Neuralink experts.


Tests showed that stimulating the animal's brain by the Neuralink implant allowed him to use the computer on his own (play a simple game) over time. The billionaire believes that this shows the potential of the chip, which in the future may help paralyzed and disabled people both in using a computer and a smartphone.

**Not only smartphones and computers**

Using a smartphone with an implant is to help not only the paralyzed and disabled but also the visually impaired and the blind. There are indications that Elon Musk expects a lot from the proposed solution but believes that it is completely doable. "Probably already in the 2nd or 3rd version of the implant.

However, Elon's ambitions do not stop there. Musk believes that "later versions of the chip will be able to stimulate the motor center, which may even allow you to walk again."

Another advantage of the implant is its imperceptibility and the fact that it charges wirelessly, so it will not interfere with everyday functioning. For now, however, it is not known when the company plans to start human testing and whether the company will be able to fulfill the promises made by its co-founder.
