Let's remind, Ilon Mask recently has informed on the organization of research medical company Neuralink which is going to develop the comprehensive interface for connection of a brain of the person to a computer or to a brain of other person. In a recent interview, Ilon Mask announced a number of details on which his new company will work.
The first ready-to-use machine interface Mask promises to appear in four years. This will be "metal lace" with contacts of micron size. During this time, the legal and legal aspects of implanting the human-machine interface into the human brain will be coordinated, and solutions for restoring the brain with serious injuries after trauma, stroke or other surgical interventions are created.
According to Mask, the machine interface will be widely used later - in 8-10 years. This is also necessary for the reason that computers with their ability to deep machine learning and with the advent of artificial intelligence will quickly bypass a person by intelligence and ingenuity. . Speech and especially typing are slow interfaces that prevent people from exchanging information faster. We must learn to transmit images and "thoughts".
We have no doubt that in four years you can learn how to implant electrodes in the brain. The only problem is that by and large the human brain remains a "black box". To translate an array of impulses in the human brain into something that is understandable for deciphering is a task whose solution may simply not be in the foreseeable future.
