Elon Musk’s Neuralink releases video of a monkey playing a videogame with the help of brain-chip
Neuralink is a neuro-tech firm developing implantable brain-machine interfaces
The chip, which Neuralink calls the ‘Link’, will wirelessly connect the brain to the digital world
Neuralink video shows a male macaque with chips embedded on each side of its brain, playing ‘Mind Pong’
He controls the paddle simply by thinking about moving his hand up or down
More than 2,000 electrodes were implanted in regions of the monkey’s motor cortex
Neuralink works by recording and decoding electrical signals from the brain
In August last year, Neuralink tested the chip on a pig
