I lost vision in one eye as a child. In 1968, that blind eye was becoming painful and I discussed with my ophthalmologist having that eye removed to relieve the pain. But I will never forget what my ophthalmologist told me, that he would not recommend removal of that eye because sometime in my lifetime we will have technology such as this. Well, I am pretty old now, I have waited long enough and have managed very well in life with just my one eye. But what is happening now is seeing his dreams come true. Unfortunately he didn't live to see this day. This is less than ideal IMO, but it is a promising start.

Surprised to see a medic aware of the newest trends in technology. Keep up the good work 🙂

I’m legally blind in my left eye. I have had surgery to remove a benign growth in my iris. It led to cataracts. So I had cataract surgery along with a lens replacement. Years later I had laser cataract removal surgery. The laser surgery led to three blind spots in my vision from my left eye. I can see out of it but it is like looking through a kaleidoscope. The beginning of my case is documented at the University of Iowa. My primary doctor was Dr. Weingeist. I was told it was a unique situation because the growth was 1 in a billion. Very rarely studied before.

Thank you Sir for the great heads-up on this subject. Yup, dumbed down a tad but grateful for the information.

I am a fully blind engineer and your presentation has been indeed exciting, and I do have an estimation of when it might be a good time to restore not only functional sight, but supportive sight to give visual mental anchors to support our daily lives: diagrams, charts, small UI helpers and computer vision aided tools one could engineer via say the n-API. I am looking forward to see what solutions neurolink comes up for biocompatibility, upgrade complexities and signal security protocols. I’d say a few more years then I’ll jump in, considering a theoretical 16 to some power advance which means n-6 would give me, and lets not forget those who may want a second vision layer about a 1080p resolution.

Even from the most draconian selfish government expenditure perspective, these are possibly the most vulnerable people that already likely have government support it makes sense that by ensuring its supported properly will actually ensure a reduced long term government expenditure since they have been given the ability to go back to a fruitful life working or not.

I'd like to see a comparison between direct brain interfaces and peripheral nervous system interfaces. The decades old vision over the tongue experiments have shown that no matter where you interface a video feed, the brain will automatically route that signal to the visual cortex. That being the case, why opt for electrodes in the brain when electrodes in any nervous tissue can accomplish a similar result?

As a robotics engineer this can be done with no surgery and for less than $100,000 each. You will see everything as a thermal emission PID but any vision is better than no vision.

You might not be aware, but there are way more types of batteries than just the ones in our smartphones. For example, lithium titanate batteries can handle up to 20,000 charge cycles with hardly any degradation, compared to the few hundred cycles a typical smartphone lithium-ion battery lasts. As for safety, it's totally possible to make batteries that physically can't catch fire, even if they get damaged. This is especially doable for low-power devices. So, the issues like battery degradation, swelling, and even fires, can be pretty much tackled with the right battery tech.

​@@lleeexx It shouldn’t be necessary to replace batteries, as some types of rechargeable batteries can last long enough to potentially serve you for the rest of your life.

This was a great video! Up until now, I did not know what Neralink was or what it did. Thank you!

At some point heat will become a concern. The more you bump up bandwidth the more strain is placed on the circuits which results in heat as a biproduct. I'm in favor of this kind of body augmentation though and think we need more of it as well as a greater understanding of the brain and nervous system in general. Personally I'd like to see the ability to grow replacement organs from the patient's own tissue.

There was an interesting story out of china recently. The US government is jealous that by some measurements china is now the biggest economy in the world, so the US banned china from buying certain chips from american controlled companies. So, china has focused on improving the old technology. And they invented a chip that uses exponentially, ridiculously less power than normal

I'm a simpleton, but it seems relatively straightforward to attach a camera onto a pair of glasses. Then use AI to split the image into two images. Then for patients who only have one eye available, you could just display the two images for the one eyeball. I mean, this wouldn't solve told blindness, but it would give patients who only have one eye perfect vision.

for the one-eyed case, i don't think that's how the visual system works. the eyes are independent of each other and you can't just combine the inputs for both eyes on a single eyeball. but even if you send the video to the non-functioning eye, how would you combine the input of a working eye and the input from the camera for the non-working eye? the scenarios discussed in the video are for people with blindness on both eyes.

@royromano9792

@@efraim6960 yeah I don't know how it works either. But what I would do is basically have a camera inside the dead eyeball and over the good eyeball, then just modify the image until the brain thinks it's regular vision. Again, I'm a simpleton and I don't know anything. It just seems like an interesting idea.

This my first time delving into these kind of topics. I'm just wowed

I lost my hope and was gettting ready to give up on life and riding and on every adventure of life but after hearing this news i got goosebumps!!!!!!

I have a small fold on the back of my right eye preventing the image from hitting my optic nerve properly. I was told my brain developed in a way that it will ignore the out of focus image from the right eye and only use the clear image from the left eye. Do you think new tech like this would have the ability to correct a condition like this?

Or wrinkle if you meant that. Im sure you could soften the tissue and it would fix itself if its a wrinkle.

I've been blind for about 20 years now. I have not rushed to sign up for these experimental devices.

Thank you for a very informative video that wasn't beating around the bush. The potential is fascinating, but it is equally if not more scary.

You make such a great point regarding the need to take into account the way that long-term tech advancements could impact early recipients of new technologies directly implanted in our bodies. The other issue people need to be prepared for is that not everyone's bodies will be capable of accepting foreign objects necessary for these technologies. My mother was a recipient of an experimental pain management device, but it was rejected by her body and not caught on time. This led to infection, but even worse, her physician suddenly left the country when she was still dealing with needing to have the device removed. She had to find a physician willing to take on the liability of removing an experimental device that had already caused infection. It sadly made her long-term pain worse than what she started with (due to signal disc replacement). I hope researchers and these corporations who are eager to gain financially from these technologies will be responsible and honest about the potential risks involved AND establish protections that will ensure all patients are taken care of no matter what may go wrong.
