Founded by Elon Musk, the man behind Tesla and Space X, Neurolink is a company he is a part of. By implanting the Neuralink device into your brain, which is similar to a pacemaker, you will be able to communicate and even control machines with the help of this device. With the use of this device, researchers will be able to analyze the electrical signals in the brain to identify possible solutions to a wide range of medical problems.
As a result of Neuralink, a small chip is going to be implanted in the skull, which will have a diameter of 8mm, with multiple wires that are insulated, as well as housing electrodes which are going to be attached to the chip. As soon as the chip is manufactured, it will be surgically implanted inside your brain with the help of an instrument called a robot. With a diameter of 100 micrometres, this wire has the same thickness as a single neuron in your brain, and its thickness is comparable to that of a single strand of human hair in terms of its thickness. Consider your hair’s diameter and divide it by ten to get a sense of the difference between them.
