原文內容:
During a town hall in Wisconsin streamed live on YouTube on Monday, Elon Musk
announced that his brain-computer interface implant startup Neuralink will
perform its first human implant of Blindsight, aimed at restoring vision in
individuals who are blind, by the end of 2025.
Musk was asked by an audience member when he envisioned "solving blindness and
bringing that to the masses."
"Neuralink has had in monkeys a working device we call Blindsight," Musk said.
"It has been working well, and the monkeys are healthy for a few years now. "
Blindsight, which received FDA breakthrough device designation in September of
last year, is an implant that aims to restore vision in individuals who are
blind.
Blindsight implants a microelectrode array into the visual cortex of a person'
s brain. The array then activates neurons, which then provide the individual
with a visual image.
"We're hoping later this year to do our first device implant for humans,
enabling someone who is completely blind to see," Musk said.
He said he wanted to set expectations appropriately and explained that the
individual's vision would be low-resolution initially, "like Atari graphics."
"It will start off very low-res, but then, overtime, I think, eventually the
implant would enable vision that is like superhuman. So, that'll be pretty
cool," Musk said.
THE LARGER TREND
Last year, Musk wrote on X that Blindsight will enable even those who have
lost both eyes and their optic nerve to see as long as their visual cortex is
intact. It will even allow those blind from birth to see for the first time,
he said.
The visual cortex is the part of one's brain that receives and processes
visual information from the retinas.
"Eventually, it has the potential [to] be better than natural vision and
enable you to see in infrared, ultraviolet or even radar wavelengths, like [
Star Trek's character] Geordi La Forge," Musk wrote.
Neuralink filed applications in early March with the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office (USPTO) to trademark the terms "Telepathy," "Blindsight" and "
Telekinesis."
The applications pertain to Blindsight as well as Neuralink's first product,
Telepathy, a brain-computer interface that enables users to control devices
with their thoughts, and Telekinesis, a term Musk has used interchangeably
with Telepathy that relates to controlling devices using one's mind.
心得/評論:
埃隆·馬斯克宣布Neuralink將於今年進行首個人類Blindsight植入
在周一於威斯康辛州舉行並通過YouTube直播的市民大會上,埃隆·馬斯克宣布,他的腦
機接口植入公司Neuralink將在2025年底前進行首次人類Blindsight植入,該技術旨在為
盲人恢復視力。
一位觀眾問馬斯克,他何時設想“解決失明問題並將其推廣到大眾”。
馬斯克說:“Neuralink已經在猴子身上測試了一個名為Blindsight的設備,效果很好,
這些猴子幾年來都很健康。”
Blindsight於去年9月獲得美國食品藥品監督管理局(FDA)的突破性設備認證,是一種旨
在為盲人恢復視力的植入物。
Blindsight通過將微電極陣列植入人的視覺皮層來實現功能。該陣列會激活神經元,進而
為個體提供視覺圖像。
馬斯克說:“我們希望在今年晚些時候進行首個人類設備植入,讓完全失明的人能夠看到
。”
他表示希望適當設定預期,並解釋說,最初個體的視力將是低分辨率的,“就像雅達利(
Atari)的圖形”。
馬斯克說:“起初分辨率會很低,但隨著時間推移,我認為最終植入物將實現超乎常人的
視力,這將非常酷。”
更大趨勢
去年,馬斯克在X上寫道,Blindsight將使那些雙眼和視神經都喪失但視覺皮層完好的人
也能看見。他說,即使是天生失明的人也能首次獲得視力。
視覺皮層是大腦中接收和處理來自視網膜的視覺信息的部分。
馬斯克寫道:“最終,它有潛力超越自然視力,讓你能看到紅外線、紫外線甚至雷達波長
,就像《星際迷航》中的角色喬迪·拉·佛吉(Geordi La Forge)一樣。”
Neuralink於今年3月初向美國專利商標局(USPTO)提交了“Telepathy”、“Blindsight
”和“Telekinesis”三個術語的商標申請。
這些申請涉及Blindsight以及Neuralink的首個產品Telepathy(一種讓用戶通過思想控制
設備的腦機接口)和Telekinesis(馬斯克曾與Telepathy互換使用的術語,涉及用意識控
制設備)。
