Neuralink ready for first human implant of vision-restoring brain device, says Elon Musk Elon Musk’s Neuralink is ready to conduct its first human implant of a brain device called Blindsight, designed to help people who are completely blind regain vision. Pending regulatory approval, the implant aims to send visual signals directly to the brain, starting with low-resolution vision. Musk says they’re set for their first human trial with Blindsight, a brain implant aimed at restoring vision—just waiting on the green light from regulators. The idea is to help the brain slowly by relearning on how to process visual signals, not to deliver instant, natural vision. But restoring sight?
