Neuralink Brain Chip FDA Approval Quiz

Ready to dive into the future? Guess what Neuralink's first human brain implant trial aims to achieve!

• To evaluate the safety of the device and the surgical robot

• To test its ability to read and decode neural activity

• To treat neurological diseases and injuries

• To merge human biology with machines and artificial intelligence

What is the current design of Neuralink's brain implant device?

• Visible with a large battery and wires

• Cosmetically invisible with a lithium battery, small computer chips, and other electronics

• Attached to a bulky external device

• Implanted on the skin's surface

Guess what? In 2021, Neuralink showed off something pretty wild with a nine-year-old macaque named Pager. Can you figure out what Pager could do?

• The primate was able to predict the future using the brain implant

• The primate was able to fly using the brain implant

• The primate was able to speak using the brain implant

• The primate was able to manipulate a computer cursor to a target with only its brain signals

🚀 Dive into the controversy! What's the buzz around Neuralink's approach to animal testing?

• 🖥️ They're all about virtual reality, using only computer simulations for testing!

• 🐾 Praised for conducting ethical and humane animal testing. Two thumbs up!

• 🚫 Testing? What testing? They haven't tested on animals, apparently.

• 😟 Uh-oh! Accusations fly about mistreating animals and playing fast and loose with infectious pathogens. Yikes!
