on 2nd Ngo-Agasti 2024, u-Elon Musk ubhengeze ukuba inkampani yakhe Neuralink ifakele isixhobo sojongano lweBrain-computer (BCI) kumthathi-nxaxheba wesibini. Uthe inkqubo ihambe kakuhle, isixhobo sisebenza kakuhle kwaye sinethemba lokuqhuba iinkqubo zokufakelwa kwesixhobo se-BCI kwabanye abathathi-nxaxheba abasibhozo ekupheleni konyaka ngokuxhomekeke kwimvume yolawulo.
I-Brain-computer interface (BCI) ichaza imiqondiso yentshukumo ekujoliswe kuyo ukusuka kumsebenzi wobuchopho ukulawula izixhobo zangaphandle ezifana neekhompyutha.
on 28th NgoJanuwari 2024, uNoland Arbaugh waba ngowokuqala ukuthatha inxaxheba ukufumana implant ye-N1 ye-Neuralink. Inkqubo yaba yimpumelelo. Ubonise amandla okuyalela isixhobo sangaphandle kutshanje. Le nkqubela phambili kwi-interface ye-Neuralink ye-wireless BCI ithathwa njengenyathelo elibalulekileyo ekuphuculeni umgangatho wobomi (QoL) kubantu abane-quadriplegia ngenxa ye-Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) okanye ukulimala kwentambo yomgogodla (SIC).
Pyanqunyulwa Rnge-obotically IMyatyalwa Brain-Computer InterfaceE (PRIME) Uphononongo, oluqhele ukubizwa ngokuba yi "Neuralink Clinical Trial" luphononongo lokuqala lokuqala lomntu lokukwazi ukuvavanya ukhuseleko lokuqala lweklinikhi kunye nokusebenza kwesixhobo I-Neuralink N1 Implant kwaye R1 Isixhobo seRobhothi uyilo kubathathi-nxaxheba abane-quadriplegia enzima (okanye i-tetraplegia okanye ukukhubazeka okubandakanya onke amalungu amane kunye ne-torso) ngenxa yokulimala kwentambo yomgogodla okanye i-amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
I-N1 Implant (okanye i-Neuralink N1 Implant, okanye i-N1, okanye iTelepathy, okanye i-Link) luhlobo lwe-interface ye-brain-computer efakelwayo. Lukhakhayi, olungenazingcingo, olufakelweyo oluphinda lutshajwe oludityaniswe kwimisonto ye-electrode emiliselwe ebuchotsheni yiRobhothi ye-R1.
I-R1 Robot (okanye i-R1, okanye i-Neuralink R1 Robot) yi-robotic electrode thread inserter efakela i-N1 Implant.
Amacandelo amathathu -I-N1 Implant (ukufakelwa kwe-BCI), i-R1 Robot (irobhothi yotyando), kunye ne-N1 User App (isoftware ye-BCI) - yenza abantu abakhubazekileyo bakwazi ukulawula izixhobo zangaphandle.
Ngexesha lophononongo, iRobhothi ye-R1 isetyenziselwa ukubeka ngotyando i-N1 Implant kwindawo yobuchopho elawula injongo yentshukumo. Abathathi-nxaxheba bacelwa ukuba basebenzise i-N1 Implant kunye ne-N1 User App ukulawula ikhompyutha kunye nokubonelela ngempendulo malunga nesistim.
