On 2nd Ngo-Agasti 2024, u-Elon Musk umemezele ukuthi inkampani yakhe I-Neuralink ifake idivayisi ye-Brain-computer interface (BCI) kumhlanganyeli wesibili. Uthe inqubo ihambe kahle, umshini usebenza kahle futhi uthemba ukuthi uzokwenza izinqubo zokufakelwa kwemishini ye-BCI kwabanye ababambiqhaza abayisishiyagalombili ekupheleni konyaka kuye ngokugunyazwa ngokomthetho.
I-Brain-computer interface (BCI) inquma amasiginali ahlosiwe wokunyakaza ukusuka emsebenzini wobuchopho ukuze alawule amadivayisi angaphandle njengamakhompyutha.
On 28th NgoJanuwari 2024, uNoland Arbaugh waba umhlanganyeli wokuqala ukuthola ukufakelwa kwe-N1 ye-Neuralink. Inqubo yaba yimpumelelo. Ubonise ikhono lokuyala idivayisi yangaphandle muva nje. Le nqubekelaphambili ku-interface ye-BCI engenantambo ye-Neuralink ithathwa njengesinyathelo esibalulekile sokuthuthukisa izinga lempilo (QoL) kubantu abane-quadriplegia ngenxa ye-Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) noma ukulimala komgogodla (I-SCI).
Pinqanyuliwe Rnge-obotically IMkutshalwe i-Brain-Computer InterfaceE (PRIME) Ucwaningo, oluvame ukubizwa ngokuthi “Neuralink Clinical Trial” luyisifundo sokuqala somuntu esingenzeka ukuze kuhlolwe ukuphepha komtholampilo kanye nokusebenza kwedivayisi I-Neuralink N1 Implant futhi Idivayisi yerobhothi engu-R1 idizayina ababambiqhaza abane-quadriplegia enzima (noma i-tetraplegia noma ukukhubazeka okuhlanganisa zonke izitho ezine nomzimba womzimba) ngenxa yokulimala komgogodla noma i-amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
I-N1 Implant (noma i-Neuralink N1 Implant, noma i-N1, noma i-Telepathy, noma i-Link) iwuhlobo lwesixhumi esibonakalayo sekhompiyutha esifakelwayo. Kufakwe ugebhezi, okungenantambo, okufakelwayo okushajwayo okuxhunywe emicu ye-electrode efakwe ebuchosheni ngeRobhothi i-R1.
Irobhothi i-R1 (noma i-R1, noma i-Neuralink R1 Robot) iyirobhothi efaka intambo ye-electrode efaka i-N1 Implant.
Izingxenye ezintathu -I-N1 Implant (i-BCI implant), i-R1 Robot (irobhothi elihlinzayo), kanye ne-N1 User App (isofthiwe ye-BCI) - yenza abantu abakhubazekile bakwazi ukulawula izisetshenziswa zangaphandle.
Ngesikhathi socwaningo, i-R1 Robot isetshenziselwa ukubeka i-N1 Implant ngokuhlinzwa endaweni yobuchopho elawula inhloso yokunyakaza. Abahlanganyeli bacelwa ukuthi basebenzise i-N1 Implant kanye ne-N1 User App ukulawula ikhompuyutha futhi banikeze impendulo mayelana nesistimu.
