Elon Musk's Neuralink To Launch New Feasibility Trial With Brain Implant And Robotic Arm
The company reports that the device is functioning well in the second patient, who is using it to play video games and learn 3D design. The U.S. FDA and Neuralink have not yet provided further details on the feasibility study.Elon Musk's company, Neuralink, is set to initiate a new feasibility trial involving its innovative brain implant technology and a robotic arm. This trial aims to explore the safety and effectiveness of Neuralink's wireless brain-computer interface and surgical robot.
特斯拉首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克創辦的神經連接公司Neuralink計劃啓動一項新的可行性試驗，涉及其創新的腦植入技術和機械臂。該試驗旨在探索Neuralink無線腦機接口和外科機器人的安全性和有效性。
What Happened: The study, named PRIME, will focus on patients with quadriplegia, enabling them to control external devices through thought, Reuters reported on Tuesday. Neuralink plans to enroll participants from its ongoing PRIME trial into this feasibility study, as mentioned in a post on social media platform X.
事件經過：名爲PRIME的研究將專注於四肢癱瘓的患者，使他們能夠通過思維控制外部設備，據路透社週二報道。Neuralink計劃將正在進行中的PRIME試驗的參與者納入這項可行性研究中，正如社交媒體平台X上的一篇帖子所述。
Recently, Neuralink received approval from Health Canada to conduct a trial of its device in Canada. Canadian neurosurgeons, in collaboration with Neuralink, have been authorized to recruit six patients with paralysis for the study. In the U.S., Neuralink has already implanted the device in two patients, allowing one to engage in activities such as playing video games and browsing the internet.
最近，Neuralink獲得了加拿大衛生部的批准，在加拿大進行設備試驗。加拿大神經外科醫生與Neuralink合作，獲准招募六名癱瘓患者參加該研究。在美國，Neuralink已經在兩名患者體內植入了該設備，使其中一人能夠參與諸如玩電子遊戲和瀏覽互聯網等活動。
The company reports that the device is functioning well in the second patient, who is using it to play video games and learn 3D design. The U.S. FDA and Neuralink have not yet provided further details on the feasibility study.
該公司報告稱，第二名患者使用該設備玩電子遊戲和學習3D設計時，設備工作正常。美國食品藥品監督管理局（FDA）和Neuralink尚未就可行性研究提供進一步細節。
Why It Matters: The potential of Neuralink's brain chip technology to transform lives has been a topic of interest since Musk first introduced the concept. As reported in July, Musk envisioned the brain chip offering superhuman abilities, akin to characters from science fiction like Geordi La Forge from Star Trek. The company, founded in 2016, aims to revolutionize the way humans interact with technology and address neurological disorders through brain-computer interfaces (BCIs).
重要性：Neuralink的腦芯片技術改變生活的潛力自馬斯克首次提出概念以來一直備受關注。根據七月份的報道，馬斯克設想這款腦芯片將提供超人類的能力，類似於科幻作品中的格奧爾迪·拉·福奇（Geordi La Forge）等人物。這家成立於2016年的公司旨在通過腦機接口（BCI）徹底改變人類與技術的互動方式，並通過腦機接口來解決神經系統疾病。
The initial human trials began earlier this year with Noland Arbaugh, a 30-year-old quadriplegic, who received the N1 Implant, allowing him to control a computer cursor with his thoughts.
初步人體試驗始於今年早些時候，由30歲的四肢癱瘓患者Noland Arbaugh接受N1植入物，使他能夠用思想控制計算機光標。
