Elon Musk's Neuralink implants brain chip in first human

Spikes are activity by neurons, which the National Institute of Health describes as cells that use electrical and chemical signals to send i

how do you feel about elon musk’s “brain chip to cure autism and schizophrenia/mental illness” idea? any thoughts?

Reuters reports that Neuralink has killed roughly 1,500 animals since 2018. As result the company is currently under federal probe, which was opened in recent months by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Inspector General at the request of a federal prosecutor. The probe, one of the sources said, focuses on violations of the Animal Welfare Act.

Synchron launched human trials in 2019 in Melbourne, Australia. Synchron’s Stentrode system was implanted in the trial’s first participant at Mount Sinai West hospital in New York City in July of 2022.

Elon Musk approached Synchron about a potential investment in Neuralink. Synchron, which is based in the New York City borough of Brooklyn, is ahead of Neuralink in the process to win regulatory clearance for its devices.

To answer your question, autism is considered a developmental disorder not a brain disease. The deficit is brain-wide. These neural differences often develop over the course of years, changing the inherent structure of a person's brain, and making it impossible to tweak or "solve" anything with a machine.

As for the treatment of other mental health issues. Brain implants have been tested and are in use.

I'm glad brain computers likely won't be available within my lifespan. I do not want to be endlessly connected. I do not want to be available at all hours of the day. I do not want to be able to post straight from my brain. I do not want companies in my head, learning from my thoughts and developing products and advertising based on data collected from my mind. I do not want to have a way to be completely disconnected from reality within a thoughts reach. as much as it sucks monkey shit, I want and need the real world around me.

I hate the idea of the clones’ brain chips not just taking away their interpretation and choice, but turning everything they fought for throughout the movies and shows, to be human, back into being ‘meat machines’ like they had been viewed previously. But....

If they bring Cody back in Bad Batch and the question of why he attacked/’killed’ Obi-Wan is brought up, then this scene is the way to do it. (Picard is Cody, Robert is Rex or Hunter or something). 

The clip was not created by me. It’s from Star Trek the Next Generation. I don’t remember the episode title or season number off the top of my head but if you want to know I’ll look it up. All I can say is that either Star Trek or clone troopers, this scene destroys me every time with its bittersweetness. T_T

So Hannibal is on US Netflix

now that i have an excuse to rewatch the show I’ve rewatched at least 3 times here are some random thoughts on S1E1

don’t expect anything coherent down there just have fun w/ me

Mall of America lmao that’s one way to call basic bitches young white brunettes Will; I’ll add it along my list of “names for white people” alongside “cracker” and “wonder bread”

“that would require me to be sociable so no I’m not doing it” has been the default response to any event requiring me to leave the comfort of my lonesome 

I don’t remember Beverly being this blunt ???? she just went you unstable? on some guy she ran into at a crime scene

ofc Will has dog treats in his trunk why wouldn’t he

USE THE LADIES ROOM 

the set design in this show (specifically food and murder) is God tier I s2g

now that i’ve actually paid attention to what Franklin was talking to Hannibal (will call him H from now on) about it’s just more confusing? how’d y’all get to lions from anxiety?? did Franklin say smth about how he’s always anxious as if a lion was in the room???

Jack:

mistakes Franklin as H

waits outside a private exit to jump H in the first place

points and walks around and touches things randomly SO MUCH

... probably why H was READY to take care of him before he made it clear that he wasn’t INVESTIGATING investigating him

ok I stand corrected apparently EVERYONE is blunt to Will this episode Hannibal just dissecting Will’s mind in his face

Hannibal: aight I’ll help the investigation by killing someone with the exact opposite motive 

& Will has an epiphany fgs y’all are hopeless

just. showing up at someone’s door with breakfast as a not-apology and demands that someone socialize with you and promises you’ll be interesting enough for em? confidence people. confidence i’ll never have

the inherent homoeroticism of two individuals catching glimpses of each other’s nature and connecting though that 

when H mentioned FBI kicking in doors my head went straight to FBI OPEN UP 

*knows each other for about a day *co-adopt a girl who got her throat slit by her serial killer dad yeah that’s s1 for ya pretty much

[AN: I have lived that nightmare]

Picture if you will, a world divided in two. Strictly regimented by gender roles that only existed in a handful of halcyon days in certain areas of the united states. The people who made it wanted to return to those days of glory before realising that such glory was unsustainable.

Because the only endorsed science was the science everyone could understand at a lies-to-children level, the bigger brains were forced to make the world adhere to the 'glorious' model. Keep in mind that these alleged glory days only had room for one demographic at the top. They keep the 'poindexters' around because they're useful in maintaining a solid grip on the centre.

For some, it is paradise. For others, it is a nightmare. Welcome to Planet Stepford. Please dress according to your assigned gender binary. Also, if that binary ends in the female, you'll also need this extensive manual of expected behaviour. It is, after all, a man's world.

I’m back with more Hannibal Thoughts

decided to take things slowly this rewatch so I’m only on S1E2 today

again it’s a fucken doozy down there don’t expect me to make sense or be brief lmao

just, zoning in on random details ahaha runs away

sleeping in the car on the way to anything is a talent but also a curse; once fell a sleep on a 15 minute max uber ride and the driver was SO CONCERNED

is Gun Powder Falls a real name for a state park???? you Americans with your guns smh (also its apparently Gunpowder -- one word instead of two)

Will: are you accusing Abigail my newly adopted daughter of being an accomplice cause NO. im shutting it down

though I dislike Freddie, working on the computer while completely naked right out the shower is something I can relate to

the “neeeeeeeeerrrrrrrr” opening theme. iconic

Will’s class really isn’t that big; also that lecture hall is really nice is that where taxpayer money has gone to

why is the lecture slides projection larger than the screen in the wider shots but fits on the screen in closeup shots????? 

that poor girl trying to ask Will a question after the lecture lmao

Will’s tie just. tilting off to the side the whole time

I NEED MY BEAUTY SLEEP

It’s fun how Will almost never have his glasses on / feel the need to put them on when he talks to Hannibal; they’ve meet like what, two weeks ago? 

Will’s so much less defensive to Hanni’s bluntness than he is to other people (Alana specifically) tiptoeing around his mental state

Will is LAUGHING & properly responding after Hanni brings his abilities up uwu now that’s connection babe

kid in what world does white bulbous stuff and straight up rotting HANDS protruding out of the mud look like WEED 

“recovering alcoholics. they crave sugar. don’t take that personally buddy” “oh I’m not recovering” PRICE YOU FUNCTIONAL ALCOHOLIC

so i first started watching Hannibal in junior high and understood NOTHING when they talked about the poor mushroom people; no I wouldn’t say this show is the biggest motivator for taking physiology and anatomy in college lie

still watching Will solve murders is like watching one of those prodigy artists who start scribbling nonsense and suddenly it turns into a hyper-realistic painting or something

#Cannibals for Bake-offs

so why did the fact that Freddie probably hooked up with Zeller slip my mind??? 

Will just. running around a hospital with a gun in his hand. boy 

mushroom boi: ouch i was just tryna help

Hannibal: i’m gonna compare him to god to hint at the fact that i would like to worship his ass
