• Neuralink Progress Update: What To Know About Elon Musk's Major Event | Inverse

Neuralink Corporation is an American neurotechnology company founded by Elon Musk and others, developing implantable brain–machine interfaces.

Watch Elon Musk’s Neuralink presentation Electric vehicles, rockets... and now brain-computer interfaces. Elon Musk's newest venture, Neuralink, aims to bridge the gap between humans and artificial intelligence by implanting tiny chips that can link up to the brain. At a press conference on July 16, Neuralink's ambitious plans were detailed for the first time, showcasing a future (a very distant future!) technology that could help people deal with brain or spinal cord injuries or controlling 3D digital avatars.

Neuralink - Merging Brain and Machine Elon Musk's Neuralink project brain machine interface (BMI) has been floating around as an idea for a while now, but recently we've been taken on a detailed inside glimpse of what the technology will entail.

Elon Musk's Neuralink: Everything We Know Elon Musk's company wants to install an implant in human brains by the year 2020. How does it work? What does it mean? Find out the basics here.

Neuralink: Upgrading The Human Brain and Neural Computation | What You Need To Know Elon Musk has been working on a brain-machine interface called Neuralink. Brain-machine interfaces could be the promising step forward that humans need to help correct neurological disorders and to ultimately – complete symbiosis with A.I. Implementation of Neuralink would essentially be both a hardware and software update of our ‘biological’ computers. The hardware update comes in the form of a neural processor (Neuralink ASIC) and extremely thin polymer threads to collect data about neural activity. The software update will give us powerful machine learning algorithms and a much better information system.

Neuralink: Elon Musk & Joe Rogan: Brain Implant Elon Musk talks Neuralink with Joe Rogan. The Neuralink brain machine interface will cure brain diseases and change the world. Warren breaks down the details of the conversation between Elon Musk and Joe Rogan, with clips from the Neuralink launch event. Musk and a brain surgeon both explain the minimally invasive brain surgery techniques they developed to implant a Neuralink chip and electrodes in the brain.

Our Neuralink Future Elon Musk's newer company "Neuralink" just demoed the brain device they've been working on the past 2 years during a live stream event. I've been waiting a long time to get a glimpse of the hardware, software, and intentions they have as they build this technology and the event was satisfying, thought provoking, and humbling. I'm going to review my impressions of the event, explain how the device works in technical detail, then make a few predictions of what it's going to be used for in the future. It's an exciting time to be alive, and although there are dangers involved, I have faith that we can learn from our mistakes and avoid having this tool be used for exploitation like social networks have been used for.

• Scientists Demonstrate Direct Brain-to-Brain Communication in Humans | Robert Martone - Scientific American ...Work on an “Internet of brains” takes another step

Mind Melds and Brain Beams: The Dawn of Brain-to-Brain Communication Music students download the technique of their favorite pianist or singer directly into their brains. Medical students download the skills of a seasoned surgeon or diagnostician. And each one of us routinely uploads our thoughts and memories to the digital cloud. While these scenarios still lie in the future, rudimentary versions of the necessary brain-to-brain technology exist today. But the ability to directly influence another person’s brain raises serious questions about human rights and individual freedoms. This program will present the latest technology and explore how the ethical implications of enhanced thinking go to the heart of consciousness itself.

Human brain to brain communication has arrived | Giulio Ruffini | TEDxBarcelona For the first time, information has been sent from one brain to another without the need to use invasive technology, i.e. without any cirurgical inventions. In the experiment, one person thought of a word ("Hola") and the second person could receive and decipher the signals to understand the word. Both persons were thousands of miles apart. This technology can already now help people with brain pathologies and - who knows - might become in some far future our preferred way of communication. Dr. Giulio Ruffini obtained his BA in mathematics and physics at the UC of Berkeley, and his PhD in Theoretic Physics at UC David/LANL. In 2000, he co-founded Starlab with the dream of transforming theoric science in technology with a real impact. Ten years later, he founded Neuroelectrics, marketing innovative products of brain stimulation that today could change the world of interpersonal communication as we know it. The 7.700 km which separates Strasburg and Thiruvananthapuram (India) didn’t prevent Ruffini and his team from achieving a transmition of a counscious message, from one brain to another in each city for the first time.

Miguel Nicolelis: Brain-to-brain communication has arrived. How we did it <You may remember neuroscientist Miguel Nicolelis — he built the brain-controlled exoskeleton that allowed a paralyzed man to kick the first ball of the 2014 World Cup. What’s he working on now? Building ways for two minds (rats and monkeys, for now) to send messages brain to brain. Watch to the end for an experiment that, as he says, will go to "the limit of your imagination."

Reporter Explains Brain-to-Brain Gaming in 3 Steps | Reporter's Notebook | WIRED WIRED writer Louise Matsakis explains how she goes about covering a research paper on multi-person brain-to-brain interfaces. A brain interface is a way for people to communicate with each other only using their minds. Louise goes through all the steps she takes when prepping an article for WIRED.com, which includes: reading the research paper, checking the landscape, and contacting the researchers.

Connecting electronics to human tissue has been a major challenge due to traditional materials like gold, silicon and steel causing scarring when implanted....The polymer, known as a Pedot, has exactly the properties needed to interface electronic hardware with human tissue without causing scarring while also dramatically improving the performance of medical implants. ...The latest research used a Pedot film with an antibody that stimulates blood vessel growth after injury and could be used to detect early stages of tumour growth in the body. Pedot polymers could also be used to help sense or treat brain or nervous system disorders, while versions could theoretically attach peptides, antibodies and DNA. "Name your favorite biomolecule, and you can in principle make a Pedot film that has whatever biofunctional group you might be interested in," Dr. David Martin said. The researchers made a polymer with dopamine, which plays a role in addictive behaviors. Several companies and research institutions are already working on technology to connect brains to computers, with Elon Musk's Neuralink perhaps the closest to achieving a commercial product. The startup plans to reveal more details about its brain chips later this month, which could one day provide "full-bandwidth data streaming" to the brain through a USB-C cable.Groundbreaking New Material 'Could Allow Artificial Intelligence To Merge With The Human Brain' | Anthony Cuthbertson - Independent ...Technology could enable new health diagnostics and achieve Elon Musk's goal of integrating with artificial intelligence

poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) is a polymer mixture of two ionomers. One component in this mixture is made up of sodium polystyrene sulfonate which is a sulfonated polystyrene. Part of the sulfonyl groups are deprotonated and carry a negative charge. The other component poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) is a conjugated polymer and carries positive charges and is based on polythiophene. Together the charged macromolecules form a macromolecular salt. Wikipedia
