Elon Musk’s Neuralink company has unveiled a new brain-computer interface (BCI) that can be implanted in the human brain. The device, called the “Link V0.9,” is a small chip that is inserted into the brain through a minimally invasive surgery. The chip can then be used to record and stimulate brain activity, allowing users to control computers and other devices with their thoughts.

The Link V0.9 is still in development, but Neuralink has already shown some impressive results. In one demonstration, a monkey was able to play a video game using only its thoughts. The monkey was able to control the game by moving its cursor around the screen with its mind.
Neuralink believes that its BCI technology could have a wide range of applications, from helping people with disabilities to improving human performance. The company is currently recruiting human volunteers to test the Link V0.9, and it hopes to have a commercial product available in the next few years.
The development of BCI technology is a major advancement in the field of neuroscience. It has the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with computers and the world around us. It will be interesting to see how Neuralink’s technology develops in the future and what impact it has on society.
