#438 โ€“ Elon Musk: Neuralink and the Future of Humanity

In the long term, be able to actually get naturalistic vision, but in the short term to maybe midterm, being able to at least be able to have object detection algorithms run on your glasses, the prepop processing units, and then being able to at least see the edges of things so you don't bump into stuff.

Yeah. The thing that actually, so a couple of things, one is, you know, obviously if you're blind from birth, the way brain works, especially in the early age, Neuroplasticity is really nothing other than kind of your brain and different parts of your brain fighting for the limited territory.

And I mean, very, very quickly, you see cases where people that are, I mean, you also hear about people who are blind that have heightened sense of hearing or some other senses. And the reason for that is because that cortex that's not used just gets taken over by these different parts of the cortex. So for those types of individuals,

I mean, I guess they're going to have to now map some other parts of their senses into what they call vision, but it's going to be obviously a very, very different conscious experience. So I think that's an interesting caveat. The other thing that also is important to highlight is that we're currently limited by our biology in terms of the wavelength that we can see.

There's a very, very small wavelength that is a visible light wavelength that we can see with our eyes. But when you have an external camera with this BCI system, you're not limited to that. You can have infrared, you can have UV, you can have whatever other spectrum that you want to see. And whether that gets mapped to some sort of weird conscious experience, I've no idea.

Yeah. I mean, my theory of how like visual system works also is that I mean, there's just so many things happening in the world and there's a lot of photons that are going into your eye and it's unclear exactly where some of the pre-processing steps are happening.
