HOW ELON MUSK’S NEW TECH STARTUP WILL MERGE AI WITH HUMAN BRAIN AND WHERE WE MIGHT GET TO BY 2025
ELON MUSK HAS DECIDED TO DO IT ALL . AND THIS TIME SOMETHING AS BIG AS BRINGING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND HUMAN INTELLIGENCE TOGETHER . WITH THE ADVENT OF MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY THAT MATCHES THE REQUIREMENTS , NEURALINK AIMS TO DECODE THE BRAIN SIGNALS , AND EVEN BETTER PRODUCE THEIR OWN. IN THIS POST WE DISCUSS THE MAJOR POINTS THAT WERE MADE IN THE NEURALINK PRESENTATION BY ELON MUSK AND HIS TEAM .
IF SUCCESSFUL SUCH “BRAIN MACHINE INTERFACES”OR SO CALLED BMIs CAN RESTORE SENSORY AND MOTOR FUNCTIONS AND THE COULD LEAD TO TREATMENT OF NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS . LETS DIG DEEPER AS TO HOW NEURALINK IS AIMING TO DO SO.
WE ALL KNOW THAT THE BRAIN NEURONS TRANSFER MESSAGES IN FORM OF ELECTRIC POTENTIALS / CURRENTS .
ALSO THERE ARE PARTS OF BRAIN THAT ARE RESERVED FOR A PARTICULAR FUNCTION LIKE SMELLING ,VISUALS ,MEMORIES OR FEAR. SO A ONLY A CERTAIN NEURONS GET TRIGGERED FOR A CERTAIN STIMULI. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THE SAME SET OF NEURONS GET ACTIVATED WHEN YOU ” THINK ” OF DOING SOMETHING AND ARE ACTUALLY DOING IT .
TO UNDERSTAND THIS SUPPOSE A PARTICULAR SET OF NEURONS ARE TRIGGERED IN YOUR BRAIN WHEN YOU GET GET A VISUAL OF “RED COLOUR” FROM YOUR EYES . IF THE VERY SAME NEURONS ARE TRIGGERED MANUALLY USING POTENTIALS YOU WILL SEE “RED COLOUR “FROM YOUR EYES.
EMBEDDING YOUR BRAIN WITH ELECTRODES
AT FIRST THIS MIGHT SEEM AS A PLOT FOR FRANKESTEIN , BUT HERE IS WHAT NEURALINK IS TRYING TO DO . YOUR BRAIN WILL BE EMBEDDED WITH A NUMBER OF ” ELECTRODE THREADS” TO RECORD THE VOLTAGE RESPONSE OF NEURONS TO A CERTAIN ,STIMULI ,THOUGHT OR ACTION . THESE INPUT SIGNALS FROM ELECTRODES WILL BE FEEDED TO AN AI MODEL , WHICH WOULD BE A NEURAL NETWORK . THE FRAMEWORK MUST BE PYTORCH AS THEY HAVE USED IN TESLA TO TRAIN THE AUTO PILOT . THIS DEEP LEARNING FRAMEWORK WOULD THEN TRY TO DECODE A PATTERN BETWEEN THOUGHTS AND ACTIVATION OF CERTAIN NEURONS. THE FIRST NEURALINK IMPLANT ON A HUMAN IS SUPPOSED TO BE MADE BY THE END OF THIS YEAR . LETS SEE WHAT WE CAN POSSIBLY ACHIEVE IF SUCH A DECRYPTION OF THE BRAIN SIGNALLING SYSTEM IS ACHIEVED !!
ENCRYPT THOUGHTS
A CERTAIN THOUGHT IS JUST A SET OF NEURONS TRIGGERING AT A CERTAIN POTENTIAL . SUCH ELECTRICAL SIGNALS CAN BE REPRESENTED BY A SERIES OF BITS AS WE REPRESENT ANY FORM OF MEDIA NOW. A BLUETOOTH DEVICE AND A CHIP CLIPPED BEHIND YOUR EAR WOULD SAVE AND SEND SIGNALS .
CONTROLLING MACHINES VIA THOUGHTS
USING THE TRAINED AI MODEL NEURALINK WILL COMMUNICATE THROUGH YOUR THOUGHTS. AND YOU WILL OPERATE THINGS LIKE A MOUSE ,KEYBOARDS, ELECTRICAL VEHICLES OR DOORS VIA BRAIN SIGNALS OR IN LAYMAN TERMS “THOUGHTS” . THESE STUFF MUST BE CONNECTED TO ANY DEVICE THAT CAN RECIEVE SIGNALS FROM YOUR ATTACHED NEURALINK BLUETOOTH DEVICE . THIS WOULD RESULT IN HANDICAPPED PEOPLE ALSO BEING ABLE TO DO THE STUFF THEY OTHERWISE REQUIRE ASSISTANCE IN.
TREATING OTHERWISE CHRONIC DISEASES
THE ” ELECTRODE THREADS” EMBEDDED IN YOUR BRAIN CAN NOT ONLY REGISTER VOLTAGE SIGNALS BUT CAN ALSO SUPPLY THEM . SO THAT MEANS STIMULATING THOSE NEURONS OF YOUR BRAIN WHICH FAILED TO DO SO ON YOUR OWN WOULD BECOME POSSIBLE . SO THIS WILL HELP IN RESTORING CERTAIN PHYSICAL CAPABILITIES TO THE DISABLED. VISUAL AND HEARNING ARE THE FEW PROBLEMS WHICH NEURALINK IS LOOKING FORWARD TO.
EXCHANGING REAL MEMORIES LIKE ANY FILE
IMAGINE TWO PEOPLE WHO USE NEURALINK COMMUNICATING WITH EACH OTHER . YOU GRANT ACCESS TO THE OTHER PERSON TO TRANSFER HIS MEMORIES AS AN INPUT TO YOUR NEURALINK CHIP .THIS INPUT WILL STIMULATE THE NEURONS IN YOUR BRAIN IN THE VERY SAME PATTERN SO THAT YOU EXPERIENCE HER/HIS EMOTIONS ,THOUGHTS AND VISUALS.

THESE THINGS CLEARLY SHOW THAT THE ADVANCEMENTS IN AI WILL RENDER THE WORLD COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WE ARE WITNESSING RIGHT NOW . LETS WAIT AND WATCH !!!!
HAPPY LEARNING!!!!
