Elon Musk’s brain-machine interface company to showcase working device

Tech billionaire Elon Musk’s brain-machine interface company Neuralink is all set to showcase a working device on Friday, shedding new light into the progress of the secretive company.

Neuralink is developing high bandwidth brain-machine interfaces to connect humans and machines.

While the touted benefits of the company’s brain-machine interface range from providing anxiety relief to helping paralysed people control devices, the more immediate goal of the company appears to be allowing people to control their phones and computers with chips that can be implanted on brain.

“Live webcast of working @Neuralink device,” Musk said in tweet, adding that it will take place on Friday.
