In the coming weeks a video of a monkey playing tennis will be shown on the computer.

American businessman, engineer and billionaire Elon Musk said one of his startups taught a monkey to play computer games. Bloomberg reports.

“We have a monkey with a wireless implant in his skull, who can play video games with his brain. The implant is not visible at all, and this is a happy monkey,” Musk said during a chat on the Clubhouse social network, answering a question. on the latest Neuralink achievements.

According to him, all the animals that are being tested are kept in the best conditions.

“We want to teach them how to play Brain Pong with each other,” Musk said, referring to the simplest arcade game that was first released 49 years ago.

Neuralink creates technology that will restore limb mobility in people with brain or spinal injuries.

“There are already primitive versions of the device with wires sticking out of the head, like a Fitbit in the skull, but with little wires leading to the brain,” Musk said.

According to him, the Neuralink chip will help fight Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and paralysis. It will also be helpful for people with memory and hearing loss, depression, and insomnia.

Recall that in August 2020, the Musk company showed a pig with a chip that allowed to read the impulses of the nervous system, and another pig, from which said chip was safely extracted without harming the animal.
