Neuralink’s show and tellElon Musk’s Neuralink company held a show-and-tell event yesterday (check out The Verge‘s 14-minute highlight video), offering a couple of new demonstrations of the brain control interface and outlining new goals. Highlights from the eventNeuralink showed a demo of a monkey typing “welcome to show and tell” with its mind via the brain control interface. But the company has already been beaten to this brain control interface goal by arch-rival Synchron. The latest goal is also interesting in light of news emerging in February that at least 15 monkeys have died between 2017 and 2020. Still, I can’t wait for brain control tech to (safely) take off.
