For the first time ever: a chip planted in the brain that allows a paralyzed man to tweet

A paralyzed man published the first "direct intellectual tweet" after planning a computer slice in his brain, according to the British newspaper "The Independent".Philip Okev, a 62 -year -old Australian who suffers from "atrophic lateral sclerosis" (ALS), composed and published the tweet using his ideas only, through a brain interface developed by a start -up nervous technology company called "Synchron" (Synchron)..Commenting on what he did - Okev explained that "there is no need to use computer keys or pronounce words, as this tweet was only written by thinking about it," according to the tweet that was published on the Twitter site (Twitter) at the expense of the company's CEOThomas Ouxley.After the first tweet, Okv posted 7 other tweets, in response to the questions of Twitter users.The STENTRODE was planted for the first time in April 2020 after Ociv's condition deteriorated to the point that he was no longer able to engage in work or other independent activities.This device has been inserted via the jugged vein to avoid invasive brain surgery, and since then Ociv has become able to reconnect to his loved ones and colleagues via email, in addition to playing simple games that depend on the computer such as "Solitaire"."When I first heard about this technology, I knew the independence that you could return to me...It is an amazing system, similar to learning to ride a bike, it requires training, but as soon as you get used to it, it becomes normal.."Now, I just think about where I want to click on a computer, and I can send an email, make banking transactions, shopping, and now I can send messages to the world via Twitter.".According to the British newspaper, the Steamroud device allows synchronization to directly connect between the human mind and the computer without the need to write or speak.It took 4 hours after planting the device in order to be able to use it to enter a text on a computer."These fun tweets at holidays are actually an important moment in the field of implantable brain interfaces," said Thomas Oxley..The first human study of the Synchron brain computer interface in the United States next year is scheduled.Sinker will one of several startups in the field of nervous technology, and it is making great progress in the techniques of the brain and computer interface called BCI, where the billionaire billionaire company Elon Musk is planned to start human experiencesOn these technologies in 2022.Mask stated - earlier - that the neurralink devices will be able to do everything, starting from the entire body functions to those with quadruple paralysis, and ending with the broadcast of music directly to the brain..Experiments have already been conducted on pigs and monkeys, using an electrode transmission device that allowed Maccac monkey - called "Pege" and is 9 years old - by playing video games only using his mind.Musk says that the ultimate goal of this technology is to enable people to compete with advanced artificial intelligence.
