Elon Musk Now Wants To Help Blind People 'See'

In an age where the boundaries between science fiction and medical advancements are becoming increasingly indistinct, Neuralink emerges as a pioneer in an exceptionally ambitious undertaking, by introducing 'Blindsight.' Recently, with the help of Neuralink, the first human brain implant patient, played online chess and demonstrated remarkable control over a computer using only his thoughts. After that, Nueralink founder Elon Musk has his eyes set on making blind people see. 

Blindsight symbolises not just a technological advancement but also a daring reimagining of the potential of human perception. You might be wondering how it will work or function.

How Will Neuralink Restore Vision Through Brain-Computer Interface (BCIs)
The process initiates with the capture of visual data using a camera or a similar device. This data undergoes processing by a computer to transform it into a format comprehensible to the brain — electrical impulses. These impulses are then transmitted to the implanted Neuralink device, which generates patterns of stimulation in the visual cortex, mimicking natural visual perception.

For individuals with impaired visual pathways due to genetic conditions, injuries, or illnesses, this approach provides an alternative path, allowing the brain to receive visual information without relying on conventional routes through the eyes and optic nerves. The ultimate objective is to stimulate the brain in a manner that enables the individual to interpret these signals as meaningful visual data, essentially offering a new form of vision.
