On the 2nd local time, United States entrepreneur Musk revealed when participating in the recording of a podcast program that his brain-computer interface company "Neuralink" (Neuralink) has successfully implanted a brain-computer interface device for the second human patient.

1. Background of the event

Company background: Neuralink is a brain-computer interface (BCI) startup founded by Elon Musk, founded in 2016 to develop new micro-devices that enable direct communication between the brain and computers.

Technical Objectives: Neuralink's brain-computer interface technology aims to collect brain nerve signals and analyze them into specific instructions, so as to create a direct connection between the brain and external devices, and realize the direct information exchange between the "brain" and the "machine".

2. Details of the incident

Implantation: Neuralink has successfully implanted a brain-computer interface device in a second human patient, another important step forward in the company's human clinical trials.

Patient profile: Musk did not disclose specific details about the second implanted person, but said that the participant's spinal cord injury was similar to that of the first patient. He stressed that the implanted 400 electrodes are working and that the equipment is working well.

Project progress: Musk said that although he doesn't want to jump to conclusions, the project seems to be going well so far, and the patient's brain activity is signaling. He expects Neuralink to implant another eight patients this year as part of its clinical trials.

3. Technology outlook

Product Planning: Neuralink plans to launch two revolutionary products. The first is Telepathy, which is designed to help people with neuronal damage regain bodily functions and think to control a computer or mobile phone. The second is a brain care device, similar to a smartwatch with tiny electrodes that is able to rewrite electrical signals to help people use their brains more efficiently.

Future applications: Musk envisioned a future where users could use Neuralink's devices to control Tesla's humanoid robot Optimus with their minds, and maybe even give humans superpowers.

Fourth, the impact of the industry

Global competition: In addition to Neuralink, there are several companies around the world that are currently developing brain-computer interface technology, and some are already entering human clinical trials. Competition in this field is becoming increasingly fierce.

Policy and Ethics: With the continuous development of brain-computer interface technology, related policy development and ethical considerations have become particularly important. How to protect the rights and security of mankind while promoting technological innovation is an important issue facing the global community.

Neuralink's successful implantation of a second human patient with a BCI device is an important milestone in the company's development history, which not only marks the company's continued progress in BCI technology, but also brings infinite possibilities for the future of human life.

According to the statistical analysis published by the Puhua Industry Research Institute of the China Research Institute:

As an important field of future technology, the brain-computer interface (BCI) industry is undergoing rapid development and change.

First, the development status of the brain-computer interface industry

Technology classification and application

Brain-computer interface technology can be divided into three categories: invasive, semi-invasive, and non-invasive according to the collection method. Non-intrusive technology is widely used due to its convenience, security, and low cost, dominating the market.

In the medical field, brain-computer interface technology is used for early screening of brain diseases, auxiliary diagnosis and treatment, and treatment of refractory brain diseases, such as Parkinson's disease and depression. At the same time, the technology also shows great potential in rehabilitation therapy, cognitive enhancement, memory recovery, etc.

Market size and growth

The global brain-computer interface market continues to grow and is expected to reach $3.3 billion by 2027, with a significant compound annual growth rate.

Although China's brain-computer interface market started late, it has shown strong growth momentum, driven by policy support and technological innovation, and the market size is expected to achieve rapid growth in the next few years.

Enterprise Competitive Landscape

A number of highly competitive companies have emerged in China's brain-computer interface industry, such as BrainCo, Boruikang Technology, Zhentai Intelligence, etc. These companies continue to make breakthroughs in technology research and development, product innovation and market application, and promote the development of the industry.

At present, most domestic companies choose the route of non-invasive acquisition technology, while most of the invasive brain-computer devices are in the stage of clinical research and animal experiments.

Policy & Regulation

A number of policies and measures have been introduced at the national level and local governments to promote the rapid development of future industries such as brain-computer interfaces. For example, the "Implementation Opinions on Promoting the Innovation and Development of Future Industries" issued by seven departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology lists brain-computer interface as one of the landmark products of innovation.

In view of the complexity and high risk of brain-computer interface technology, the relevant regulatory authorities are cautious in terms of regulatory formulation and approval process to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the technology.

Second, the future market economy development trend

Increased technology maturity

With the rapid development of neuroscience, materials science, artificial intelligence and microelectronics, the precision and speed of brain-computer interface technology will continue to improve. The accuracy and real-time performance of non-invasive BMI technologies such as electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) will be greatly enhanced, making applications such as mind control and emotion recognition more accurate and efficient.

Expand application scenarios

Healthcare: BCI technology will not be limited to treating specific conditions, but will also explore applications in cognitive enhancement, memory recovery, pain management, and more.

Other fields: In the military, education, entertainment and other fields, brain-computer interface technology will empower individuals to achieve extrasensory experience, efficient learning and training, and immersive entertainment experience, completely changing the way of life and work of human beings.

Interdisciplinary cooperation and industrial integration

The development of BMI technology is inseparable from the cross-integration of neuroscience, computer science, materials science and other disciplines. In the future, experts in these fields will work together to promote the innovation and development of brain-computer interface technology.

At the same time, brain-computer interface technology will also drive collaborative innovation in medical equipment, information technology, software services and other industries, forming a more open, inclusive and collaborative industrial ecology.

Ethics, Law & Data Security

With the popularization of brain-computer interface technology, how to protect user privacy, avoid information abuse, and formulate reasonable regulatory policies have become urgent problems to be solved. Cooperation will be strengthened within and outside the industry to jointly establish ethical review mechanisms, data protection standards and legal frameworks to ensure the healthy development of technology.

The brain-computer interface industry is in a period of rapid development, with continuous improvement in technology maturity and continuous expansion of application scenarios. In the future, with the acceleration of interdisciplinary cooperation and industrial integration, brain-computer interface technology is expected to open a new era of human-computer interaction and bring unprecedented possibilities to mankind.
