Neuralink - from brain to computer

Image
Neuralink is a neurotechnology company founded by Elon Musk in 2016. Its primary goal is to develop implantable brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that can establish a direct connection between the human brain and computers or other external devices. The company's vision is to enhance human cognition and potentially mitigate neurological disorders by merging human intelligence with artificial intelligence. Neuralink's brain implants, often referred to as "neural lace," consist of tiny, flexible threads embedded with electrodes that are inserted into the brain. These threads allow for high-resolution recording and stimulation of neural activity. The data gathered from the brain can be transmitted wirelessly to external devices for analysis or control.

It was only a teaser, as you can see by the short video from our Facebook page. Matthew Wiggins, Head of Samsung Research America’s Health Solutions Lab, talked about the upcoming vision of Samsung Health and at the same time introduced the Galaxy Ring, giving an exciting glimpse of Samsung’s brand-new, powerful and accessible health and wellness device.
