Elon Musk’s technology company Neuralink wants to optimize human abilities via brain-computer interfaces. A completely paralyzed man in Germany is one of the first people with a probe in his brain.
Electrodes – so-called “Utah arrays” – that are implanted in patients.
The brain works with electrical signals. Computers also move electrical charges to process information. So why shouldn’t the brain communicate directly with the computer in the future – without going through a keyboard or the spoken word?
