00:00Oh, what are you doing little kitty?
00:09Kitty moves the cow with mind power.
00:13Interesting.
00:14I am not sure if anyone can magically move things,
00:18but if we listen to Elon Musk,
00:21it is possible to achieve this super power
00:24with the help of his brain chip.
00:27Really? How?
00:29Let me explain this by answering a revolutionary question.
00:34What is Neuralink's brain chip?
00:37Zoom in!
00:39On the chilly morning of January 30th, 2024,
00:44the tech titan and visionary entrepreneur Elon Musk
00:50sent shockwaves through the digital realm
00:53with a single groundbreaking message
00:56on his favorite social media platform.
00:59The first human received an implant from Neuralink yesterday
01:04and is recovering well.
01:06Initial results show promising neuron spike detection.
01:10But, what's this buzz all about?
01:15For that, let's travel back to 2016,
01:19when Elon Musk opened a start-up named Neuralink
01:24with a mission to invent super futuristic devices
01:28to help people with brain conditions.
01:30So, his team of super smart scientists and engineers
01:36invented a wireless battery operated chip
01:40that can be implanted in the human brain
01:43to help them control computers and other devices
01:47just by thinking.
01:49Musk even says this magical chip could help blind folks see
01:56and let people who can't move their bodies start moving again.
02:02I know it sounds like something right out of a superhero movie,
02:07but they actually showed how it works
02:10by having monkeys play simple video games
02:14or move a little cursor on the screen
02:17using these special brain implants from Neuralink.
02:21But, the vital question is,
02:24how does this brain chip work?
02:27You see, our brain consists of special cells called neurons
02:32that transmit electrical signals to other parts of the body
02:37like muscles and nerves.
02:40This is the reason you can run, dance, study
02:44and do every possible thing.
02:47So, the electrodes of the Neuralink chip
02:50can read and record these signals
02:52which are then translated into motor controls
02:56allowing users to control external devices
02:59devices such as computers and smartphones
03:03just by thinking.
03:06And in the case of a person with a condition like
03:09quadriplegia,
03:11in which a person is affected by paralysis
03:14of all four limbs,
03:16their brain neurons are working fine,
03:19but it's the pathway down the limbs that are damaged.
03:23Due to this, the brain signals get blocked
03:27or don't get through.
03:29So, the Neuralink chip aims to read these signals
03:33and repatch the network
03:35by directly sending signals to the limbs.
03:39Isn't it wonderful, friends?
03:42But, even though Neuralink's brain chip
03:45offers lots of cool possibilities,
03:48experts have some worries.
03:50They are concerned about testing the chip on animals
03:54and the risk of brain surgery such as bleeding or seizures.
03:58Plus, having a chip in your brain
04:01might raise questions about privacy
04:04and being watched all the time.
04:06So, just like with any new tech,
04:10it's important to talk about these risks
04:13and make rules to keep everyone safe.
04:16To sum up, Neuralink's brain chip is like magic,
04:21connecting our minds directly to machines,
04:24which could change how we use technology
04:27and relate to each other in totally new ways.
04:31It's an adventure we are all embarking on together.
04:35But, it's important to be cautious
04:37and question everything along the way.
04:40Trivia Time!
04:42Did you know Elon Musk has named the chip
04:46Telepathy?
04:48Yes, that's because the word Telepathy
04:52stands for the communication of thoughts
04:55between people's minds
04:57without using speech, writing or other normal methods.
05:02Sketching Time!
05:05Today's sketch of the day goes to Parnavi Pandey.
05:10Hope you learned something futuristic today.
05:13Until next time, it's me, Dr. Binox, zooming out.
05:23How did you move the car, Kitty?
05:26By magic or technology.
05:30Ha, ha, ha. Never mind.
