Elon Musk

The CEO of SpaceX and Tesla Motors is exploring just a connection through another company he has launched, called Neuralink. The Wall Street Journal reported Monday. Musk has taken active role in developing what is calls "Neural lace" technology, which involves installation tiny electrodes in the brain to transmit thoughts.

It wasn't clear what type of products the company will produce, but they are expected to have medical applications, such treating as brain disorders like epilepsy or major depression. The approach could mirror that of deep brain stimulation, which uses a surgically implanted, battery-operated medical device to treat neurological symptoms, most common Parkingson's effects such as tremor, rigidity, stiffness, slowed movement, and walking.
