Elon Musk: Neuralink Can Restore Full Body Functionality, Vision; FDA Nod for Blindsight

• Elon Musk claims Neuralink can restore full body functionality by bridging damaged nerve communications.
• The brain-computer interface device translates neural signals, allowing control of computers and robotic arms.
• Human trials for motor cortex technology began in 2022, with 12 patients implanted by September.
• Neuralink is also developing "Blindsight" to restore vision, even for those blind from birth.
• Blindsight received "breakthrough device" designation from the US FDA in September.

Why It Matters: Neuralink aims to revolutionize medicine by restoring full body function and vision through brain-computer interfaces.
