FULL REVEAL! Elon Musk’s Neuralink chip tested live in pig brains
At a Neuralink event, Elon Musk shows of the latest advancements from his brain implant startup, including a demo showing a tiny computer chip that measures brain activity inside pigs.

My neuralink 0.8 has only five hundred…
..looks like it’s time for an upgrade jajaja

The main feature is to be able to communicate with each other telepathically, save memories to replay them vividly like a movie, and possibly help people that have chronic pain.

Now the aliens implanting stuff in humans makes sense. I always wondered why they would do it. They wanted to experience our sense of smell translating it to one of their senses that worked. Well they should have figured out that pigs are much better at smelling and less controversial to implant as long as the look happy. All joking aside. We’ve been putting neural implants and sensor arrays in things like cockroaches for about 50 years. Even though we eat mammals, I didn’t think it would become legal or accepted by animal rights folk to do in higher level vertebrates. I guess the “happy and normal” pig and having infinite money to ward off legal and activist attacks is important.

There is so much to consider how not novel this is. Detecting the”loudest” signal, i.e. the quadrapedal motion signals, is not difficult. But then ground truthing that with a (biased) computer vision system instead of an EMG is just ludicrous. There’s a lot more “noise”, background processes, in the human brain to easily isolate very many useful signals.
Can anyone tell a brain damaged pig from a regular pig? Probably not, so you cannot confirm removal will not have long lasting effects.
No mention of battery life, wireless transmission protocols/encryption (hi HIPAA), processing power, etc. Miniaturization aside, there is nothing here worth a press conference besides his megalomania.
Sarah Blake
August 29, 2020 at 1:27 am
you definitely can tell a brain damaged pig from a non damaged pig. they have mris for animals that can detect brain damage. another thing id say is maybe the conference is important just to show that keeping the implant in which is the first step, does not harm the pig so far

One can invision an implant inserted into the brain of an amputee with a robotic limb. The Neuralink is implanted in the area of the cerebral cortex that sends commands for movement. The Neuralink interprets the commands and communicates to the robotic arm via bluetooth or wires. How do you transmit over RF to the robotic arm without frying brain tissue over time?
Musk hasn’t told us how he accessed the recorded data for his presentation. Hasn’t told us about the complications of having battery cell technology in something as fragile as the brain.
Stephanie Grow

His presentation looks like an implant experiment (the things in the presentation do not happen in real-time; it takes several hours to put this presentation together, possibly days):
(a) record video of the pig during movement [or better, record 3D data by position sensors placed at the joints of the pig],
(b) download the Neuralink cortex data after the experiment,
(c) align the video [or 3D sensor data] with a plot of the cortex data,
(d) the predictive modeling is then obtained by applying AI to this 3D data and cortex data.
Step (b) could be achieved using a wired jack, or through low power bluetooth.
Step (c) would require time-stamped data for alignment, then exporting the 3D data and cortex data to a format for display (3D data would be superimposed on a video of the pig; the cortex data would be converted to a matrix plot, including a tool to convert the 1024 bit summed value to a sound value)
Step (d) is where the real work is in this project.

This reminds me of those old fake healer guys selling medicine out of an old horse drawn cart in the Wild West many years ago.
Nothing has changed really, the marketing guff is exacty the same but only the technology has moved on considerably.
Remember when they used to sell dodgy cure all medicines in glass bottles?
Yep, it’s the same marketing spiel but now the quack scientists will drill the fake tech straight into your brain instead like a miniature limpet mine, unpredictable and ready to blow off your skullcap in the blink of an eye.

Now my dream of teaching animals to talk and offering them a place among civilization and making a planetary council of all the different species is a more real possibility. I think this is key to our survival imagine what knowledge they could have about things like space travel or respective technologies that each different species could hold new ideas for like what does an octopus or a dolphin or a elephant know if you teach it history and science and physics and the whole get up about the universe. What if birds could teach us how to fly better.

why even mess with implants? wouldn’t genetic editing/modification of humans eventually eliminate many if the same diseases just as well?
aside from the cloning demonstrated decades ago, all that came of genetic experimentation was a complete ban of the tech world-wide. How is this any safer or any less ethically questionable 🤔
