Elon Musk reveals Neuralink's new project that could restore sight - and says the 'implant is already working in monkeys'

Elon Musk casually dropped that he has another Neuralink project in the works which he says will bestow sight upon people born blind -- and the tech is already being tested on monkeys. True to form, Musk announced the project's official name, 'Blindsight,' while replying to users on his social site X, first in late January, then with fresh details Wednesday. Musk claimed the tech will be lo-rez at first, 'like early Nintendo graphics' from the 1980s era of 8-bit video games. But ultimately, he hopes it will actually'exceed normal human vision.' If Blindsight remains true to its first unnamed tease, presented during a Neuralink'Show and Tell' in late 2022, the implant will be able to repackage digital camera data into electrical impulses compatible for delivery straight into the visual cortex.
