Thank you, Mr. Air, a netizen of CTOnews.com, for your clue delivery! CTOnews.com, Nov. 8 (Xinhua)-- Elon Musk (Elon Musk) today hinted that his brain-computer interface company Neuralink is developing a vision chip that will be "ready in a few years" and is expected to restore light to the blind.

It is reported that X platform user MarcusHouse has posted a post claiming that his 14-year-old eldest son Alex suffers from a rare "CRB1 retinal dystrophy" eye disease, with one eye almost blind and the other "theoretically blind", so MarcusHouse hopes to use the power of the platform to help Alex face the challenges of life.

▲ source Marcus House posted a post and Musk replied that Neuralink is developing a vision chip, which will be ready in a few years, and the company is waiting for regulatory approval.

The post posted by Musk, the ▲ source, continued to ask Musk whether the related vision chip "will eventually achieve better results than 20amp 20." (CTOnews.com Note: 20x20 is a term in visual mechanics, that is, the subject needs to stand at a distance of 20 feet / 6 meters to undergo a vision test, which will prove normal vision if he can see the vision test pattern clearly), but as of CTOnews.com 's publication. Mr Musk has yet to respond.

In addition to the posts released by ▲ source Marcus House, CTOnews.com reported today that biographer Ashlee Vance recently revealed that thousands of people are waiting in line for brain implants to be implanted in Neuralink.

Earlier this year, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Neuralink to conduct human trials of its equipment, which Musk described as "Fitbit on the skull". In September, the company began recruiting volunteers for its first human trial.

Neuralink plans to perform 11 human surgeries next year, 27 in 2025 and 79 in 2026. After that, the number of surgeries will soar from 499 in 2027 to 22204 in 2030. The company expects annual revenue to be as high as $100 million within five years (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 728 million yuan).
