New Delhi, April 2 -- The field of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) has taken a significant leap forward, with major updates coming from both the United States and China. Elon Musk's Neuralink and China's Beinao No. 1 project are each advancing toward human trials with new brain-chip technologies, underscoring growing momentum in neurotechnology.

Neuralink recently announced that it plans to implant a new chip designed to restore a form of visual perception known as "blindsight" in a human subject by the end of 2025. The Neuralink brain chip in this case is tailored to stimulate visual-processing centers in the brain, helping patients respond to visual input even without functioning eyes or optic nerves. This Neuralink chip represents a ...
