ELON MUSK CLAIMS NEURALINK ALREADY ALLOWING BLIND MONKEYS TO SEE AGAIN
Summary from the TLDR newsletter
According to Elon Musk, Neuralink's 'Blindsight' product is already working on monkeys to restore vision. The resolution is pretty low, but researchers are looking for ways to increase the clarity of images. It is unclear whether the monkeys were born blind and how much of their optic nerves were still intact. The device could be made available to far more people if Neuralink was able to bypass both the eye and the optic nerve.
