    Neuralink已将首个大脑芯片植入真人体内 马斯克表示,这家脑科学初创公司的第一款产品名为“心灵感应”,它将让人们“仅仅通过思考”来控制他们的手机。 本周一,科技亿万富翁埃隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)表示,他的脑科学初创公司Neuralink首次在人体中植入了一种设备,这可能是朝着一种产品迈出的一步,他说该产品将允许人们“仅通过思考”控制几乎任何外部设备。 马斯克在X上宣布了这一消息。他说,这名没有透露身份的病人周日“接受了植入物”,并且“恢复良好”。他补充说,初步结果显示这是“有希望的神经元尖峰检测”。他没有提供有关手术、患者或公司植入的设备的其他细节。 几十年来,科学家们一直在研究脑机接口的类似想法,如果成功,有朝一日可以帮助身体残疾的人,改变人们的交流方式等等。 2024 年 1 月 22 日,特斯拉和 X(前身为 Twitter)平台的所有者埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 出席了在波兰克拉科夫举行的研讨会。Beata Zawrzel|美联社 Neuralink的进展没有立即得到独立确认。Neuralink的竞争对手之一Precision Neuroscience去年首次将其设备植入人体。 马斯克宣布这一消息的八个月前,Neuralink表示已获得美国食品和药物管理局(FDA)的批准,可以进行首次人体临床研究。今年9月,Neuralink表示将开始为该研究招募患者。 总部位于旧金山的Neuralink没有立即回应提供更多信息的请求。 美国食品和药物管理局负责监管医疗器械,需要批准任何消费品,但没有立即回应对马斯克声明的评论请求。 Neuralink表示,它正在开发一种名为Link的大脑植入物,以帮助患者(包括严重瘫痪的患者)使用外部技术。马斯克周一表示,Neuralink的第一款产品将被称为Telepathy。他没有说这是新设备还是之前宣布的设备的新名称。 近年来,Neuralink一直面临指控,称它虐待了实验中使用的一些猴子。据路透社报道,美国农业部去年在调查后表示,除了2019年自我报告的一起事件外,没有发现任何违反动物研究规则的行为,当时一名Neuralink外科医生使用未经批准的密封剂关闭了在猴子头骨上钻的孔。 马斯克说,“心灵感应”产品将允许人们控制他们的手机或电脑——只需思考便可以控制几乎任何设备。 “最初的用户将是那些失去四肢使用能力的人,”他在X上写道。“想象一下,如果斯蒂芬霍金的沟通速度比快速打字员或拍卖师更快。这就是我们的目标。” 马斯克于2016年共同创立了 Neuralink,并将其添加到他领导的其他公司名单中,包括特斯拉和SpaceX。他在2022年收购了X,前身为 Twitter。 据TechCrunch报道,Neuralink得到了30多名投资者的支持,其中包括PayPal联合创始人Peter Thiel的创始人基金。马斯克在2022 年表示,他计划自己植入一个Neuralink植入物。 Source NBC News
