Transcripts

00:00

a few months ago Elon Musk announced

00:02

neuralink had implanted their first

00:03

brain ship into a real life human but in

00:05

the weeks that followed we heard nothing

00:07

but

00:08

crickets based on the prior testing

00:10

results with monkeys doctors scientists

00:13

and Elon haters all over the world

00:14

feared the worst they assume the enlon

00:16

likely exploded and patient zero did not

00:19

survive finally yesterday we learned the

00:21

truth the neurolink install was a

00:22

success and the results are absolutely

00:24

mind-blowing first ever user of the Nur

00:27

link device and I think you're my only

00:30

telekinetic friend that I have yeah I

00:32

hope so it is March 21st 2024 and you're

00:35

watching the code report this is Nolan

00:37

arbau he's a 29-year-old who was

00:39

paralyzed from the shoulder down in a

00:41

diving accident that's not the best card

00:43

to be dealt in life but over the last

00:44

few weeks he's gained telekinetic like

00:46

abilities that seem impossible at first

00:48

glance like here he's controlling a

00:50

mouse cursor to play games like chess

00:51

and Civ 6 using nothing but his thoughts

00:54

there's no eye tracking or sensors other

00:56

than the chip in his brain in today's

00:57

video we'll find out exactly how this

00:59

crazy technology works and make some

01:01

predictions about where things are going

01:02

in the future but first I think Humanity

01:04

owes this guy a huge amount of respect

01:06

and appreciation the average person

01:08

thinks they're brave for being an early

01:09

adopter of the cybertruck but it takes

01:11

real balls of stainless steel to order

01:13

the foundation series neuralink what's

01:15

crazy is that the chip itself is not

01:16

installed by a human surgeon but rather

01:18

a surgical robot after drilling a hole

01:20

into your cranium it implants a bunch of

01:22

tiny threads that are finer than a human

01:24

hair it uses a tiny needle like a sewing

01:27

machine to weave these threads into your

01:28

brain each thread contains contains high

01:30

density electrodes which are capable of

01:32

detecting electrical activity also known

01:34

as brain waves the N1 ship has 1,24

01:37

electrodes distributed across 64 threads

01:40

which means you have 16 electrodes per

01:42

thread to put that in perspective a

01:43

typical Electro andram will have around

01:45

20 sensors and they typically max out

01:47

around 256 electrodes in addition

01:50

they're on the outside of your skull

01:51

which means you're more likely to get

01:53

interference before that signal reaches

01:54

the electrode the only real Advantage is

01:56

that you don't have to drill a hole into

01:58

your skull the N1 trans mits data

02:00

wirelessly and is powered by a small

02:02

lithium ion battery and that battery is

02:04

charged wirelessly from the outside via

02:06

an inductive charger but the big

02:08

question here is how is this guy

02:10

actually moving a mouse with his

02:11

thoughts well in order to understand

02:13

that we need to learn a little bit about

02:14

brain waves when you're asleep your

02:16

brain emits low frequency delta waves

02:18

around 2 Herz when you wake up and

02:20

become a little more alert they increase

02:22

their frequency to Alpha Waves at around

02:24

10 Herz and then finally when you become

02:26

highly focused like when solving a

02:28

coding problem or playing chess they

02:30

become gamma waves at around 35 Herz and

02:33

that's what we're most interested in

02:34

measuring because we can recognize

02:36

certain wave patterns just like a

02:38

soundwave which can identify a distinct

02:40

thought in your brain they didn't

02:41

provide a ton of detail in the neuralink

02:43

video but he might have a thought like

02:45

move my right arm that creates a

02:47

specific type of electrical signal in

02:48

his brain the chip itself can then pick

02:50

up on that which triggers an action to

02:52

move the mouse to the right but that

02:54

doesn't happen magically right after the

02:55

surgery there's a brain computer

02:57

interface where the end user needs to

02:59

practice a bunch of movements because

03:01

everybody's brain waves are different

03:02

and it needs to learn which thoughts

03:04

correspond to which movements now if you

03:06

have working arms and legs you might not

03:08

be all that excited but for many this

03:10

technology could be life-changing

03:11

especially when integrated with

03:13

futuristic Technologies like today we

03:15

have wheelchairs but in the Noto distant

03:16

future they could be replaced by Mech

03:18

suits that are entirely controlled by

03:20

the person's brain I know that sounds

03:21

crazy but the field of Robotics is also

03:24

popping off right now figure one has

03:25

incredible humanlike dexterity and

03:27

Nvidia just announced their own humanoid

03:29

world and it's only a matter of time

03:31

before there's an apple robot Pro when

03:33

brain chips and Robotics converge in the

03:34

near future human disabilities may be

03:36

far less restrictive and that's a big

03:38

win for Humanity now brain chips do have

03:40

their Skeptics for obvious reasons but

03:42

luckily the data only flows one way you

03:44

don't have to worry about getting KFC

03:46

advertisements injected into your dreams

03:48

and they won't be able to turn off

03:49

important bodily functions if you don't

03:51

pay your monthly subscription also they

03:53

can't really identify highly complex

03:54

thoughts which means there's no need to

03:56

worry about being thrown in jail for

03:57

wrong think while the NSA monitors your

03:59

thoughts and most importantly there

04:01

won't be an API for JavaScript

04:03

developers to build apps on it now

04:04

finally the good news is that you can be

04:06

an early adopter as well clinical trials

04:08

are open for the neuralink prime study

04:11

where you can get your Founders Edition

04:12

brain chip make sure to sign up with the

04:14

link on screen full disclosure this

04:16

video is not sponsored and I don't get

04:18

paid if you don't survive the trial so

04:20

come with me if you want to not die this

04:22

has been the code report thanks for

04:23

watching and I will see you in the next

04:25
