Elon Musk’s company “Neuralink” has invented a device called BLINDSIGHT that will enable those who have lost their both eyes and their optic nerve to see again.
BLINDSIGHT will also enable those who are blind from birth to see for the very first time.
He made this announcement yesterday on his X account while thanking the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the approval given to the device.
“The Blindsight device from Neuralink will enable even those who have lost both eyes and their optic nerve to see.
“Provided the visual cortex is intact, it will even enable those who have been blind from birth to see for the first time.
“To set expectations correctly, the vision will be at first be low resolution, like Atari graphics, but eventually it has the potential be better than natural vision and enable you to see in infrared, ultraviolet or even radar wavelengths, like Geordi La Forge.
“Much appreciated, @US_FDA!”
