Russian experts are amazed: China has surpassed Musk in the brain chip race!
On June 29, Russian media published an expert article.
Chinese scientists have already implanted chips in the human brain, and their chips seem cooler than Musk's! ????
Recently, China announced the first successful neural implant, which allows a person to control a computer with the power of their thoughts.
The Chinese neural implant is a device the size of a coin (diameter 26 mm, thickness less than 6 mm), implanted between the skull and the brain, but it does not penetrate the tissue itself.
Chinese technological advantages:
Less invasive (no direct neuronal damage).
High signal reading accuracy.
The patient almost doesn't feel the device.
But there are also some disadvantages.
Compared to deep implants, the details of the signals may be smaller.
It is currently unclear how the chip will perform in the long term.
In fact, this technology is based on brain-computer interface (BCI). The chip reads brain electrical pulses related to the intention to move an arm and transmits them to the computer.
The computer converts thoughts into actions - cursor movement, graphic movement.
This is like controlling a prosthetic limb.
???? China vs. Musk: Who is cooler?
Russian experts say that when Musk was testing on monkeys (causing safety issues), the Chinese had already moved to humans.
China's approach is less invasive, but may be less powerful.
Russian experts believe: It's too early to say who has won, but the fact is, the competition to connect the brain to the computer has already begun!
