Musk has made another major move? This time we are working hard for the visually impaired community

Marcus House, a well-known Australian technology media person, pointed out in a social media post on Tuesday that his 14-year-old son Alex suffers from CRB1 retinal dystrophy, a rare eye disease

Alex’s current condition is that he is almost completely blind in one eye, and the other eye has also reached the legal standard of blindness. House said that because the disease is rare, it is difficult for him to find other parents in similar situations, so he hopes to find families who have experienced the same situation online, or professionals who research this field.

Subsequently, Musk responded to this post. Musk said: "Neuralink is developing a vision chip, which is expected to be completed in a few years. After helping those who have lost the connection between the body and the brain to achieve mobile phone/computer telepathy, this is our The next area of ​​research. We are awaiting regulatory approval for our first human subject.”

The Neuralink mentioned by Musk is a brain science company he founded in 2016 with a number of scientists. As the name suggests, the company's main research direction is brain-computer interface - realizing "interaction between human brain and machine" by developing a device that can be implanted in the brain.

Musk’s brain-computer interface startup Neuralink announced on September 19, 2023 that the company had received approval from an independent review committee and

will conduct the first human trial

of implanting devices in the brains of paralyzed patients. . According to Neuralink,

This human trial will last for six years. Participants will first participate in an 18-month study

, after which they will spend at least two hours a week doing brain training. Research on computer interfaces.

According to China Securities Journal,

On May 26, Beijing time, Neuralink, a brain-computer interface company owned by Musk, officially announced that its first human clinical trial was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

According to Musk, Neuralink is designing a device that converts brain signals into actions. It will first focus on two applications: one is to restore human vision, and the other is to help people who cannot move muscles control devices such as smartphones. Even restore the whole body functions of people with spinal cord injuries. The so-called "brain-computer interface" is to implant tiny electrodes in the brain and use electric current to allow the computer and brain cells to interact. Musk released his first product in 2019. The principle is to use a laser to drill holes in the skull, then avoid the cerebral blood vessels and implant a line into the brain. In August 2020, in order to verify the effect of the brain-computer interface, researchers implanted devices in three pigs. Musk showed the audience the real-time transmission of the piglets' brain activities during a live broadcast.

Before the successful application for human clinical trials, it is worth mentioning that Neuralink has already conducted relevant trials on pigs and monkeys and caused a sensation

In April 2021, Neuralink released a video showing a monkey implanted with its device playing a video game telepathically to demonstrate the research team's major breakthrough in brain control research.

According to CCTV Finance, a macaque named Pug demonstrated the application of brain-computer interface in a video. Before the video was shot, the research team implanted a brain-computer interface into Pug's brain. Initially, the team taught Pug to play with a joystick and rewarded him with banana milkshakes through a metal straw. During this process, the brain-computer device recorded Pug's neuron activity and established a neural activity model related to the expected direction of movement, thereby realizing a "brain-computer connection"

Although,

Brain-computer interface company

Neuralin only began human trials a few months ago, implanting devices into the brains of paralyzed patients. If the "brain-computer interface" can help people who have lost their sight regain their sight, it will be an important breakthrough recorded in the history of human civilization. According to the National Eye Institute, serious vision-related illnesses continue to grow. Currently, there are about 1.3 million blind people and 2.9 million people with low vision in the United States. It is estimated that these two numbers may increase to 2.2 million and 5 million by 2030

Top issue published! Professor Li Yibin's team from Shandong University developed a simple and highly maneuverable wheel-legged composite robot Top issue published! Professor Li Yibin's team from Shandong University developed a simple and highly maneuverable wheel-legged composite robot Jun 08, 2023 am 10:15 AM

Humans have dreamed of developing mobile mechanisms that can adapt to a variety of wild terrains since ancient times. Wheeled mobile platforms have better motion stability and mobility efficiency, but are difficult to travel in rugged terrain; legged robots have better terrain adaptability and mobility flexibility, but their motion stability and energy efficiency need to be improved. In order to combine the advantages of wheeled movement and leg-foot movement, the wheel-leg composite movement mechanism was developed. Common wheel and leg composite mechanisms mainly include special-shaped wheels (such as RHex), spoked wheels (such as Whegs), deformed wheels (such as OmniWheg), wheel legs in series (such as Wheeled-ANYmal), etc., as shown in Figure X. Figure 1 Common wheel-legged composite robots Recently, the team of Professor Li Yibin of Shandong University and Ma Shu of Ritsumeikan University in Japan
