Social media upstart platform - Clubhouse, is getting a lot of attention in tech circles right now.
Elon Musk hosted a room in Clubhouse in which he had some pointed discussions with the CEO of Robinhood.
Musk was asked questions about Neuralink during his Clubhouse discussions.
Neuralink is a company Musk founded to develop brain-computer interface (BCI) technology. This is technology that allows the brain to be connected to a computer.
In its most recent experiment, Neuralink’s BCI enabled a monkey to play the old Pong arcade game.
For those who aren’t familiar with Pong, it was an early game that was something like virtual Tennis. Users moved a “paddle” up and down on the screen to hit the ball back to their opponent.
And get this – Neuralink’s BCI allows the monkey to play this game with just its mind. No controller necessary. The BCI implant is wireless and connects to the computer.
So this is an incredible neuroscientific development…
