Elon Musk's company develops new implant to cure blindness and enhance human vision
September 18, 2024, 06:04 AM
Neuralink, a company founded by Elon Musk, has developed an innovative implant called Blindsight, which can cure blindness and restore vision even to those who have been blind since birth.
Additionally, in the future, the implant will be able to enhance human vision, providing new capabilities. The device has already received approval from the U.S. Department of Health. It is reported that vision will gradually return to avoid overloading the brain.
The Blindsight device from Neuralink will enable even those who have lost both eyes and their optic nerve to see. Provided the visual cortex is intact, it will even enable those who have been blind from birth to see for the first time. To set expectations correctly, the vision will be at first be low resolution, like Atari graphics, but eventually it has the potential be better than natural vision and enable you to see in infrared, ultraviolet or even radar wavelengths, like Geordi La Forge.
It is worth mentioning that in August, Elon Musk promised that chipped players would be able to outperform professional esports athletes.
