According to Bloomberg, since its founding, the company has hired several high-profile neuroscientists from various universities.[8] By July 2019, it had received $158 million in funding (of which $100 million was from Musk) and was employing a staff of 90 employees. At that time, Neuralink announced that it was working on a "sewing machine-like" device capable of implanting very thin (4 to 6 μm in width) threads into the brain, demonstrated a system that reads information from a lab rat via 1,500 electrodes and anticipated to start experiments with humans in 2020.
Elon Musk claims his new toy will heal those with brain disorders and problems. The fact remains if you can tell a machine to make your brain move your right arm, then that same machine can download memories from your brain to a computer storage device. Also, brain activity can now be enhanced creating feelings, smells, and higher states of sub-consciousness and consciousness. In other words, we could probably dream whenever we wanted to with this device.
Problems & Risks: Hackers! They could easily hack into the device and totally mess up the devices settings and who knows what could happen to that human... The hardware will fail over time, just like a computer's hard drive fails over time with the information being processed and using the internet for updates. Nothing is perfect in life... Perhaps that is why God made it that way, each of us is unique and has certain characteristics and behave differently under situations.
