Would you put this chip in your brain? Elon Musk unveils his Neuralink implant - which could allow humans to control computers with their minds - then demonstrates it on pigs and appeals for HUMAN volunteers
Elon Musk has revealed a working Neuralink brain chip, after starting in 2016
Musk took the stage Friday to demonstrate the device implanted in pigs
He showed that when the pig snuffed around in its pen its neurons fired off
Musk tweeted last month that the he would show neurons firing off in real-time
An updated brain chip was also revealed, which is the size of a large coin
The procedure takes just 30 minutes and anesthesia is not needed
Musk said the chip will stop humans from being outpaced by AI
The device also claims to cure injuries, brain trauma and cure depression
The three little pig's demo, as he called it, showed an animal named Gertrude with the device implanted in its brain and while she snuffed around in a pen viewers saw her brain activity on a large screen
Musk took viewers over to an area with three pigs in separate pens, noting one was without a Link
'Getting a link requires opening a piece of skull, removing a coin size piece of skull, robot insets electrodes and the device replaces the portion of skull that is closed up with super glue,' explained Musk
Musk showed a visual of what the electrodes would look like while implanted into the brain
The 'sewing' robot was also present on stage with Musk, who explained the procedure takes just 30 minutes, general anesthesia is not needed and patients can leave the hospital on the same day
The 'sewing robot' removes a small chunk of the skull, connects the thread-like electrodes to certain areas of the brain, stitches up the hole and the only visible remains is a scar left behind from the incision
