Phones Canada est ravi d'annoncer que Neuralink, une id\u00e9e originale d'Elon Musk, a ouvert son registre de patients aux r\u00e9sidents canadiens, marquant une \u00e9tape importante alors qu'il s'\u00e9tend pour la premi\u00e8re fois au-del\u00e0 des \u00c9tats-Unis. Cette d\u00e9cision repr\u00e9sente un pas en avant majeur dans l\u2019avancement des technologies d\u2019interface cerveau-ordinateur (BCI), selon Neuralink. Voici quelques cl\u00e9s [\u2026]<\/p>\n
Here are some key points to know about Neuralink\u2019s Patient Registry and what it means for Canadians:<\/p>\n
\u2013 The Patient Registry aims to connect with individuals in Canada who are dealing with various medical conditions such as quadriplegia, paraplegia, visual and hearing impairments, aphasia, or major limb amputations.
\n\u2013 By registering with the Patient Registry, participants can determine if they meet the initial criteria for Neuralink\u2019s clinical trials. This includes the PRIME Study, an investigational trial of Neuralink\u2019s fully-implantable wireless BCI that is compatible with Bluetooth and can connect to devices like iPhones and Macs.
\n\u2013 The PRIME Study focuses on assessing the safety and functionality of the BCI in enabling individuals with quadriplegia to control external devices using their thoughts alone. A human clinical trial is currently underway in the U.S., where a participant had the BCI implanted earlier this year.
\n\u2013 The research involves implanting a small device into a part of the brain responsible for movement planning. This device decodes neural activity, allowing participants to interact with computers or smartphones by simply thinking about moving.
\n\u2013 Noland Arbaugh, a 29-year-old quadriplegic, became Neuralink\u2019s first human patient. He can now operate his MacBook Pro and play video games using only his thoughts\u2014a remarkable advancement in technology.<\/p>\n
Individuals who have limited or no use of their hands due to conditions like cervical spinal cord injury or ALS are encouraged to explore joining the Canadian registry to potentially contribute to and benefit from this groundbreaking technology.<\/p>\n
Looking ahead, Musk hinted at a new product called \u201cBlindsight\u201d that could potentially treat blindness by transmitting direct vision signals to the brain.<\/p>\n
Stay tuned for more updates on Neuralink\u2019s innovative developments as they continue to push boundaries in BCI technology.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
