Brain implant thinner than a human hair could let you use social media with your MIND

Scientists have developed a brain implant that is thinner than a human hair and will allow you to use social networks with the power of thought.

The highly experimental chip is designed for paralyzed or dumb patients, people with paralysis who cannot use their limbs to communicate via computer.

But it can also allow healthy people to use social media with just the power of their minds.

It differs from brain implant created by Elon Musk because the procedure is less invasive and the chip is on the surface of the brain, not in the tissue.

Device implantation in the skull is reversible if the patient changes their mind or wants a newer version in the future

The chip transmits this data wirelessly to computers or smartphones and converts it into real-time clicks and keystrokes on the phone or computer.

The implant, called the Layer 7 cortical interface, is a strip of flexible, thin-film material that looks like a piece of tape.

The strip has electrodes and is one-fifth of a human hair thick, which helps it conform to the surface of the brain without damaging tissue.

To implant the device, surgeons make a very thin incision in the skull and insert it inside, as if putting a letter in a box.

Precision CEO Michael Mager told CNBC the gap is less than a millimeter thick, meaning that patients don’t even have to shave their heads to insert it.

He said: “I think this is a big advantage compared to technologies that require, for example, a craniotomy, removal of a large part of the skull, which is time-consuming and comes with a high risk of infection.” I have never met anyone who would like to drill a hole in their skull.”

The device works by collecting brain signals, interpreting them, and outputting commands to a connected machine based on the received brain signal.

Because scientists can easily increase the number of electrodes on the strip, it could be used to treat other neurological conditions.

Implantation is also reversible if the patient changes their mind.

The device has successfully deciphered animal brain signals, and Precision hopes to get FDA approval for human trials of the implant in the next few months.
