Another historical event has taken place in the world of technology. American citizen Alex Conley - a patient who couldn't move for years due to spinal cord injury - has now managed to control the aircraft model using his consciousness. This experiment has generated significant interest in the scientific community, according to The Verge.
Alex Conley was the first to control a robotic arm using a Neuralink implant. But now, by connecting a chip in his brain to a computer system, he had learned a much more complex task - to control a model of an airplane. This marked the beginning of a new stage in his life.
According to Neuralink, such implants have been installed in 12 patients so far. They could send signals through their brains, play computer games, move cursors, or control various electronic devices.
Researchers note that when neural activity in the human brain is directly connected to a digital system, thoughts can be converted into a program command. As a result, people who cannot move due to severe injuries or disabilities will have the opportunity to return to life.
Neuralink engineers call this technology a "natural bridge between man and technology." They plan to expand implant capabilities in the future, even managing the complete prosthesis through thought or sending information via the internet.
According to Alex Conley, when he first piloted an airplane model, he "felt how powerful his brain was." He believes that this program will be a source of hope and inspiration for others.
Experts assess the Neuralink experience as a new stage in the integration of medicine and technology. Because this achievement could open new opportunities not only for people with disabilities but for all of humanity in the future.
