American billionaire and founder of neurotechnology company “Neuralink” Elon Musk announced yesterday that a brain chip has been implanted in a person for the first time.
Publika.az It is reported that the well-known doctor Alexander Myasnikov shared his thoughts on placing a chip in the human brain. He believes that the first implantation of a chip in the human brain with Neuralink neurotechnology could be the beginning of a great step in medicine or, on the contrary, could lead to tragic consequences.
“Then everything will depend on whose hands the development will take. Various options are possible: either the return of life to the seriously ill, or the end of the free human race,” the doctor explained in a conversation with “Подмосковье сегодня”.
In turn, general practitioner Maria Belyayeva recalled the manufacturer’s statement. It has been noted that a device implanted in the head will have significantly fewer side effects than modern drugs. This may have implications for the treatment of depressive disorders, for example.
But first of all, society is concerned about a simple question: how safe is the operation of inserting an electrical chip into the brain? Myasnikov is sure that if the operation is done correctly, the risks are almost zero. Belyayeva also agrees with his opinion. At the same time, the safety of the chip for human health can only be confirmed by the results of long-term studies.
“The correct installation of the implant plays an important role, because during the experiment on monkeys, when it was placed incorrectly, complications such as brain edema, pain and paralysis occurred,” the doctor suggested that the specialists thoroughly check the patient.
