On the 2nd local time, American entrepreneur Musk revealed during a podcast recording that his brain-computer interface company "Neuralink" has successfully implanted a brain-computer interface device in the second human patient.

He said that although he did not want to draw conclusions too early, the project seemed to be progressing smoothly, the patient's brain activity signals were strong, and the implanted device was currently working well. In February this year, Musk said that the first patient of Neuralink's brain-computer interface device had recovered well, no adverse reactions were found, and he was able to move the cursor on the screen by thinking.


In late January this year, Neuralink conducted the first human transplant of a brain-computer interface device. The patient's brain activity signals can be read in real time. The patient can control mobile phones, computers, and almost all devices simply by thinking. People who have lost the use of their limbs will be the first users of this product.


"Brain-computer interface" is a human-computer interaction technology that works by collecting brain nerve signals and analyzing and converting them into specific instructions. This technology can create a direct connection between the human or animal brain and external devices, without relying on the normal output pathway composed of peripheral nerves and muscles, and realize direct information exchange between the "brain" and the "machine".


In addition to Neuralink, there are many companies around the world that are currently developing brain-computer interface technology, and some companies have already entered the human clinical trial stage.
