JAKARTA - Elon Musk revealed that monkeys can play games like humans. Through the company Neuralink, Musk puts his hopes that monkeys can play the game Mind Pong.

Neuralink implanted a chip into the monkey's skull, then connected it to the brain using a small wire. Musk said that the neural implants placed in the monkeys would not be visible.

“With a direct neural interface, we can increase the bandwidth between the cortex and your digital layer by many magnitudes. I can say at least 1,000 or 10 thousand more, "said the boss of SpaceX and Tesla, as quoted by CNBC International.

Neuralink is a company that develops brain-computer interfaces. Musk described it like attaching a Fitbit smartband into the skull by adding tiny wires to connect to the brain.

Elon Musk said that Neuralink was created to improve the speed of information flow in the human brain to machines. Musk also said that artificial intelligence (AI) is going to be smarter than it is.

Through the technology used by Neuralink, later humans can participate. Musk also calls Cyborg or half-robot human. He also said that humans have a digital layer caused by smartphones, applications and computers.

However, until now Musk has not disclosed in more detail when this microchip will be implanted in a human head and who is the first person to be planted with this microchip.
