Didn't the team he put together at least come up with better miniaturization of a BCI, with denser/more numerous electricodes, and a more advanced implantation process to minimize scarring?

You probably won’t be worried about scarring after you die of a brain bleed so that might not be the best selling point.

[-] astral_avocado@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

It's a current limitation with all BCIs from what I understand, so one hurdle for them is to try to eliminate it from ever forming at all. Not sure where his thing is at, but I guess no one here knows anything about it.

Elon musk is a fucking moron, but he is paying a team of actual neuroscientists and surgeons to develop this.

Yes you are right, they are trying to improve on what exists. My response was more for the "OMG musk is doing a sci-fi" - recording spikes is not really new or hard.

It's like the Titan sub all over again except this time homeboys brain arteries implode

The neuralinks are actually built by scientists though not random billionaires who just think they know what they're doing. It's not like Elon Musk himself has anything to do with this, he's just funding it.

Actual scientists built a lot of less-than-great stuff throughout history.
