Elon Musk's video shows a monkey with a neural chip implanted in its brain playing the video game Pong without the help of a joystick.
The company Neuralink, owned by American inventor and billionaire Elon Musk, showed a video of a monkey that plays the game Pong "with the power of thought".
Initially, the test subject, who had previously been implanted in the brain with a neurochip, played with a joystick, and the computer memorized the brain signals. Over time, the device was turned off completely, but the monkey was able to continue playing.
She was also encouraged with a reward in the form of a banana smoothie. The macaque received it through a special tube.
Elon Musk explained that the improvement of technology is aimed at eliminating injuries to the brain and spinal cord and making up for lost human abilities.
