Brain-o-Scope: UN warns Neuralink-like AI-brain implants will hack your head
Mehul Das •Gabriela Ramos, UNESCO's assistant director-general for social and human sciences believes that unless regulated properly and extensively, AI-powered BCIs like Neuralink can be used to read your thoughts, and even change the way you think
Elon Musk’s Neuralink to start human trials this year, starts production of brain chips for humans
Mehul Das •Elon Musk's Neuralink will start running trials of their BCI or brain computer interface this year. After years of being denied permission for human trials by the FDA, the US government agency finally approved Neuralink to start human trials earlier this year
Telepathic Apes: China develops brain chip that lets monkeys control robots in major breakthrough
Mehul Das •In a major breakthrough for BCIs and brain implants, scientists in China have developed a new implant that lets monkeys control a robotic arm using their minds. This is a feature that Elon Musk's Neuralink and other BCI makers have been working on for years.
Mind Hunter: Scientists develop ChatGPT-like tool that turns people’s thoughts into text in real-time
Mehul Das •Scientists at the University of Texas has developed a new AI tool that works like ChatGPT and converts thoughts into written text, in real time, with great accuracy. They hope when BCIs become more common, this will help mute people speak.
Biotech firm beats Elon Musk’s Neuralink, has implanted brain chips in 50 people for ailments
Mehul Das •An American biotech company has already beaten Elon Musk's Neuralink by implanting their BCIs in over 50 people and curing various ailments and disabilities. Neuralink, meanwhile is still waiting for FDA approval to start testing on humans.
Neuralink, Elon Musk's brain computer interface company is looking for human trial partners
•Elon Musk's brain implant company Neuralink has approached one of the biggest US neurosurgery centres as a potential clinical trials partner as it prepares to test its devices on humans once regulators allow for it.
AI Mind Hunter: Researchers make AI bot that can read your mind and draw 80% accurate images
Mehul Das •Researchers from Osaka University have made a new AI bot that can read minds and then draw them using Dall-E 2 and Stable Diffusion, The sketches are up to 80 per cent accurate. The bot uses fMRI scans to "see" what a subject is thinking or visualising.
Musk’s Neuralink in trouble for mishandling contaminated devices removed from monkey brains
Mehul Das •Elon Musk and Neuralink are in some serious trouble over allegations that Neuralink mishandled the chip implants that were used in their experiments, after removing them from a monkey's brain and potentially causing a biohazard exposure.
Elon Musk's Neuralink: Two neurosurgeons weigh in on the feasibility of Musk's brain implant and its potential
Mehul Das •Elon Musk's Neuralink is being positioned as the next big thing that will completely change modern medicine if some people are to be believed. But what do medical professionals think about brain-computer interfaces or BCIs curing diseases such as blindness or paralysis?
Elon musk announced a lot of stuff at the neuralink event. Here's the most important
Mehul Das •From how it will change robotics and surgery to basic interactions between humans and computers, Elon Musk's vision for Neuralink entails many things. We take a look at how Musk hopes his brain-computer interface venture will play out.
