American billionaire Elon Musk expressed confidence that the <a href="https://time.news/blindsight-what-is-the-brain-chip-with-which-elon-musk-promises-to-restore-vision-to-blind-people/" title="Blindsight. What is the brain chip with which Elon Musk promises to restore vision to blind people?”>Neuralink visual implant will be able to provide the ability to see even to people who have been deprived of vision since birth.
As Day.Az reports with reference to the KP, in the future this device, in his opinion, will have to capture not only the spectrum familiar to humans, but also other, more unusual ones.
Musk explained that the Blindsight device, being developed by Neuralink, will be useful even for those who have lost their vision due to the loss of both eyes and their optic nerve. However, provided that the visual cortex of the brain has not been damaged, this device can restore vision even to those who have never had it.
He also noted that in the initial stages the image quality will be low and resemble the graphics of Atari game consoles. However, in the future, it is expected that the device will be able to sense infrared and ultraviolet spectra, as well as capture radar wavelengths.
