It may read fewer neurons than the current USB-based prototype. Elon Musk - owned US company Neuralink has unveiled some of its brain interface technology as part of its efforts to " achieve a symbiosis with AI " . According to a white paper , the system includes flexible threads , finer than a human hair , implanted in the brain by robot . They 're combined with a custom chip that " reads , cleans up , and processes " brain data and will , eventually , be sent wirelessly to an AI chip embedded in the human brain . At a recent presentation , Musk revealed the system enabled a monkey to control a computer with its brain .
