Watch A Monkey Play, Pong, With Its Mind Thanks To Elon Musk

Say what you want about Elon Musk, there is no denying he has one of the brightest, most forward-thinking minds anyone has ever seen. With successful trials like we see here, the reality that paraplegics could one day walk again is actually possible!

Neuralink is an amazing company that specializes in creating brain-computer interface technology. Elon has partnered with Max Hodax to create life-changing technology. Clearly from watching Pager the Macaque Monkey playing Pong, simply with his mind the duo is on to something groundbreaking. Terrain like that is where Musk seems to be most comfortable.

Going back 7 months Neuralink was introduced to the world via the brain of a pig. Musk implanted the link, set up trails, and then showed the world what he’s working on. Listen to Elon explain how Neuralink works.

In a blog post Neuralink had this to say; “Today we are pleased to reveal the Link’s capability to enable a macaque monkey, named Pager, to move a cursor on a computer screen with neural activity using a 1,024 electrode fully-implanted neural recording and data transmission device, termed the N1 Link. We have implemented the Link in the hand and arm areas of the motor cortex. A part of the brain that is involved in planning and executing movements. We placed Links bilaterally: one in the left motor cortex and another in the right motor cortex.
