Elon Musk wants to stream music into your brain

Serial enterpreneur Elon Musk has a lot of companies but Neuralink is probable the least-known. Founded four years ago, Neuralink focuses on the development of brain-computer interfaces to help humans keep up pace with AI. The company will provide an update about its technology at an August 28 event.

Futurism noticed Elon Musk recently confirmed that Neuralink will one day be able to stream music directly into your brain. Not really news as Neuralink has much bigger ambitions, but it's a slow news day.

It’s still entirely unclear if Neuralink’s brain-computer interfaces will ever be able to bypass the ear, the cochlear nerves, and beam music magically to the auditory brain.

But Musk has already set his sights on bigger things. When asked by another Twitter user if Neuralink’s devices could also help “stimulate the release of oxytocin, serotonin, and other chemicals when needed,” Musk replied with another “yes.”

Yes
