Tesla Talent Call Out! Tesla CEO Elon Musk claims that his implantable computer interface Neuralink (www.neuralink.com) will be able to stream music directly to a person's brain. Musk discussed the technology during an exchange with another user on Twitter, after tweeting that he was looking to recruit engineers for the project. "If you’ve solved hard problems with phones / wearables (sealing, signal processing, inductive charging, power mgmt, etc), please consider working at engineering@neuralink.com," Musk tweeted Friday. "Solving high-volume, high-reliability, low-cost production problems is especially valued." During a livestream presentation in 2019, Musk said that Neuralink would implant flexible threads

of electrodes into the brain, which are used to pick up signals from neurons and wirelessly transmit them to a computer nearby. He noted that the process would be similar to LASIK, where a laser would create a tiny hole in the skull to implant the electrodes. Musk believes that the technology could ultimately help treat brain disorders like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and dementia. He added that it is also essential for the human race's symbosis with artificial intelligence. www.foxnews.com/tech/elon-musk-neuralink-streammusic-brain?utm_medium=techboard.tue.20200721&utm_ source=email&utm_content=&utm_campaign=campaign
