Chinese state media on Tuesday touted the emergence of a Chinese-made rival to Elon Musk’s Neuralink technology, a chip implanted in the brain that allows humans to directly interface with electronics.the Chinese Institute for Brain Research’s “Neucyber” chip as “China’s version of Neuralink,” the product on display at a laboratory in Beijing is far behind Neuralink, having not yet been implanted in a human host.
The project directors said the chip has been implanted in the monkey’s skull for almost a year and is “still able to collect high-quality signals.” The next step is designing an algorithm to decode the brainwaves, which would allow the monkey to control a robot arm. If that goes well, researchers hope to begin human trials within a year.
The most grimly amusing line in China’s ethical guidelines stipulated that cybernetics that interfere with human judgment or compromise “human autonomy and self-awareness” should be avoided — unless they are “fully proven to be superior to human capabilities.”was confident that China would be able to assemble “superior resources” to catch up and eventually take the lead in BCI, proudly noting that Neucyber was developed in less than a year.
Neuralink is nevertheless pushing for a second human trial with an implant deeper in the brain, and Arbaugh remains anwith computer systems well enough to play video games before his implant began to degrade. He actually set a world record for precise control of a computer cursor, which should be of interest to Chinese medical ethicists who believe restraints on research should be lifted if BCI proves “superior to human capabilities.
