What is Neuralink?

• Neuralink is a company founded by Elon Musk in 2016 and its main objective is to enable direct communication between the brain and computers. 
• The company is developing brain chips, also called brain-computer interface (BCI), that can be implanted surgically into the human brain in a non-invasive way.
• Currently, Neuralink aims to solve some of the severe human diseases including neurological disorders and mental health conditions. 
• Medical conditions such as spinal cord injuries, or Parkinson’s disease damage the neural function. In such a scenario, the brain-computer interface aims to restore or enhance neural functions just like before.

What is Brain Computer Interface?

• Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) acquire brain signals, analyze them, and translate them into commands that are relayed to output devices that carry out desired actions.
