00:00 In May last year, we reported to you that Musk, once the world's richest company,
00:05 and his neuroscience startup Neutralink
00:09 were studying how to implant chips into the brains of four paralyzed patients.
00:16 This is a new technology that seems to be very far away from us,
00:19 but now it has made breakthrough progress.
00:21 In January this year, after this company implanted the chip into a patient's brain,
00:26 the patient can now use his/her mind to control the computer.
00:31 Let's take a look at the video.
00:34 From the video of Musk's live broadcast on X-Platform,
00:37 we can see that the patient's hands are on the chair,
00:39 and he/she is not touching the keyboard or the computer at all.
00:43 He/she is sliding the mouse through his/her mind,
00:46 and finally moves the white horse chess piece to the upper left.
00:50 The patient's name is Albao.
00:52 Eight years ago, he/she had an accident due to diving,
00:55 which caused cervical damage and paralysis of all the body parts below the shoulder.
01:00 In the video, he/she explains how he/she moves the computer mouse through his/her mind.
01:05 As long as he/she looks at a certain place on the screen,
01:08 the mouse will move to that place.
01:10 Albao said that although it takes time to get used to it at first,
01:13 how to use your mind to control it,
01:15 but now he/she can play chess for eight hours in a row,
01:19 and can also learn other languages online,
01:21 and even read books.
01:23 He described that this technology has completely changed his/her life.
01:27 How did he/she get this technology?
01:29 First, let me explain it to you.
01:31 They used five hard-core chips to control the movement of the brain through surgery.
01:40 Then, this chip will transmit the signal to the system that accepts instructions through wireless,
01:46 and finally successfully control it with this idea.
01:49 As the first patient's surgery was successful,
01:52 this technology can also be expanded to patients with motor disorders or Parkinson's disease.
02:00 In addition to launching a new electric sensing chip,
02:03 Musk also hinted on the X platform that
02:06 Neutralink is about to develop a product that can restore vision in the future,
02:10 called BlindSight.
02:13 It is hoped to help people who have lost their eyes or visual nerves to restore their vision and regain their sight.
02:19 But Musk did not explain the details of this technology.
