A thought recording and reproduction device refers to any machine which is able to both directly record and reproduce, via a brain-computer interface, the thoughts, emotions, dreams or other neural/cognitive events of a subject for that or other subjects to experience. While currently residing within mostly fictional displays of the capacity of ...
So far, Neuralink's electrodes are too big to record the firing of individual neurons, so they can record only the firing of a group of neurons; Neuralink representatives believe this issue may be mitigated algorithmically, but it is computationally expensive and does not produce exact results.
Neurotechnology encompasses any method or electronic device which interfaces with the nervous system to monitor or modulate neural activity. [1] [2]Common design goals for neurotechnologies include using neural activity readings to control external devices such as neuroprosthetics, altering neural activity via neuromodulation to repair or normalize function affected by neurological disorders ...
The long term goal, according to Neuralink, is to give patients the ability to control entire devices with their thoughts. SEE MORE: Elon Musk's Neuralink implants first device in human brain.
Neuralink did not immediately reply to Reuters' request for further details. The firm successfully implanted a chip on its first human patient last month, after receiving approval for human trial ...
Neuralink came under fire in 2022 for its treatment of monkeys during testing. The company acknowledged that a monkey died during an attempt to get the animal to play a video game like “Pong.”
Many neuroscientists believe that the human mind is largely an emergent property of the information processing of its neuronal network. [9]Neuroscientists have stated that important functions performed by the mind, such as learning, memory, and consciousness, are due to purely physical and electrochemical processes in the brain and are governed by applicable laws.
Patients may be awake during neurosurgery and asked to perform tasks, such as moving fingers or repeating words. This is necessary so that surgeons can remove the desired tissue while sparing other regions. Removing too much brain tissue can cause permanent damage, while removing too little can mandate additional neurosurgery. [citation needed]
