Neuralink, the company owned by Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, is planning to implant an electronic chip in the human brain.
He claims that various types of diseases can be controlled by chipping the human brain. Musk plans to conduct a medical examination of it within the next 6 months.
But various kinds of controversies have started to arise about such a plan. Are people trying to make zombies by connecting a chip in the brain? The question has started to be asked.
In fact, its history has always been controversial. For a long time, America kept its soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq.
As soon as those soldiers returned to their country, various kinds of problems started appearing in them. Most of them went into depression and could not live with their families.
It is said that many soldiers who returned from the war committed suicide. A mind that has seen war and suffering behaves in the same way even in peace. This is called traumatic brain injury.
The US Defense Ministry, the Pentagon, made a plan to remove the diseased part of the brain of such soldiers.
However, when that was not possible, the plan to attach a chip to the brain and control human emotions from it was moved forward.
The Defense Advanced Research Project Agency, which works very secretly and strictly, took charge of it. The agency started a project called Repair.
The brain chip project was finally launched in secret. However, news about the project was leaked later, and the US government had to cover it up by issuing a statement to handle it.
He claimed that the purpose of the brain chip project was only to normalize soldiers who were dealing with mental problems.
Discuss the Danger
As soon as the project was revealed, people began to talk about it, that installing a chip in a person’s brain is like taking out all the information, all the experiences and all the secrets in the brain and putting it on a computer chip.
In fact, if the chip can control the brain, then it can also know everything about a person. Therefore, the merger of brain and chip can be very dangerous.
But even in the middle of that discussion, the study continued. However, no other concrete information about the project has been released yet.
According to the news, 220 employees are continuously working in one building in this project. Its headquarters are in Virginia.
Another 2,000 people are under contract. There are junior scientists and university professors working in this laboratory. It also has other branches which operate in different ways and are very secretive.
Prepare to make the army zombies!
In 2015, science writer Anne Jacobson wrote a book called The Pentagon’s Brain.
In that book, she revealed how preparations for turning the American army into zombies are going on secretly.
According to him, computer chips cannot treat soldiers who are dealing with mental problems. On the contrary, it turns soldiers into machines that can fight for weeks on end.
And those soldiers will have no mercy and can only cause massacre. Even the most rigorous training makes the soldier weak.
But by attaching such a chip to the brain, a soldier can be made a strong machine.
A similar accusation against China
This danger of changes in the brain is not only in America, but also in other countries. According to which, China is working at a different level.
Two years ago, the American National Intelligence Service accused China of changing the genes of its soldiers to make them brutal.
The United States claims that China is changing the gene of soldiers through genetic editing technology.
What is Brain Interface?
Brain interface is also called brain computer interface. It is a kind of brain and computer merger, which is a merger between two companies.
Through this, the neurons of the brain and the computer chip can communicate with each other and exchange instructions.
This technology is believed to have started in the seventies, which was later promoted by the US Department of Defense. Now, Elon Musk is at the forefront of this.
In 2021, Musk’s company implanted a chip in the brain of a monkey and made him a proficient video game player.
All the data of the human brain in the computer!
Some facts about the project of Alan Musk’s company Neuralink, which connects a computer chip to the human brain, have been made public.
According to which the chip to be implanted in the human brain will be the size of a small coin. Small wires will come out of the chip which will be 20 times finer than our hair.
It will have more than a thousand electrodes that will monitor the activity of the brain and stimulate it to work. All those brain data will go to the computer and scientists will study it.
Among the various advantages of brain chip technology, there are also its dangers. As various private companies and start-ups started working in this area, the danger has increased.
With this technology, there is a danger that a certain part of a person’s memory can be deleted and used for their own benefit. However, there is another side to it.
If someone’s memory is lost, the memory can be revived by attaching a chip to the brain. Now every company that talks about their research in this field is only talking about the benefits here.
