3 Things That Could Become Reality with ‘Neuralink,’ which connects the Human Brain to Computer
Making daily life easier is no longer enough for humanity, which is constantly improving itself in terms of technology. In the new digital age, where it is inevitable to use technology not only in daily life but in almost every job, people are now ready to evaluate interface applications that will enable the understanding of neural activities. Elon Musk’s Neuralink initiative team, which carried out its own studies using Facebook Buildin 8 as a reference, announced that they managed to develop a new neural control technology by putting people and machines in communication. This development shows us that the following three dreams have become more possible:
1) Being able to control the computer with the mind
The first developments are expected to be simple applications such as writing answers mentally and navigating social media accounts without using hands. For this, it also makes it possible for people using an interface to block pop-ups. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which wants this issue to be studied further, claims that relevant teams are working on the brain-machine interface. It is claimed that he wants to take the issue under his own control, as this will also provide quieter, faster and healthier communication between possible military forces. Of course, in this regard, it is a matter of curiosity how many stages it takes to establish telepathy between brain-machine interfaces and brain-brain interfaces.
2) Having a technology that is aware of emotions
One of the biggest problems of robotic technologies, which is not knowing what people feel and how this can be simulated and adapted to reality, has been one of the main reasons underlying the development of artificial intelligence. Even artificial intelligence modules that try to find out what people feel in the photographs they take and present it to the user have only recently gained the opportunity to improve themselves in this field. However, by eliminating this problem, which is one of the main objectives of the initiative, your robot can now take instant pictures of you and understand that you are angry, thanks to a special chip called an implant, as a result of detailed analysis of every photo uploaded to social media, based on this previously analyzed information. In other words, a home robot with an implant can predict your emotional state with minimum error using your previously stored photographic data. In short, technology can know in ways you cannot explain.
3) Being able to control one’s own or someone else’s brain
This subject is entirely a subsection of brain-machine interface technology, but Elon Musk has moved this issue to a different area with Neuralink and wants to interpret the event not only as the realization of an activity as a result of neural activities, but also as its reconstruction. The brain can be deceived by these electrical activities and this situation can be strengthened with deep brain simulations. However, in order to avoid possible abuse, computer scientists argue that it should be limited to creating emotions that feel real about biological limbs.
