Elon Musk's Neuralink has invented a groundbreaking device called BLINDSIGHT that will allow people who are blind to see again. This includes those who have lost their eyes and optic nerves, and even those born blind. Musk announced this life-changing technology yesterday on his social platform, X.
BLINDSIGHT is a new technology that directly connects to the brain. Unlike other vision devices, this one doesn’t rely on eyes or optic nerves. Instead, it sends visual information straight to the brain, helping blind people see the world around them.
The device is implanted in the brain, where it sends signals to the visual part of the brain, called the visual cortex. For people who have lost their sight or were born blind, BLINDSIGHT will teach their brain how to process and “see” images for the first time.
