Elon Musk's Neuralink, one of his many companies and the only one currently focused on mind control , has released a new blog post and video detailing some of its recent updates - including using its hardware to make it possible for a monkey to play pong with only its brain.
In the video above, Neuralink demonstrates how it used its sensor hardware and brain implant to record a baseline of activity from this macaque as it played a game on-screen where it had to move a token to different squares using a joystick with its hand. Using that baseline data, Neuralink was able to use machine...
