Elon Musk's Neuralink allows to network 1000 human neurons to computers, and most CNS regions (such as V1 cortex) just have a few thousand neurons that network to other regions

[Swudu Susuwu]

Human eyes use ganglion neurons to compress data from raw photons and output simple shapes/motions that go to V1 cortex.

V1 cortex processes those and compresses to data as objects and motions of objects that go to V2 cortex.

A few thousand neurons should allow to put compressed visual data to human's cortices

What point of discussion do you wish to raise? Or are you just spamming?

[Swudu Susuwu]

"Brain-computer-interfaces"/"Neural interfaces" all fake with no uses to us? Looks as if Neuralink is just a euphemism for cybercrime and has no other purposes.

More believable is electrodes that attach to neurons of animals, suchas:

"Integration Theory of Consciousness* has thoughts of how to figure out if animals have consciousness.

Wanted to discuss how these chips could have uses to us. Have no affiliations to Elon Musk nor Tesla, and no financial stakes, just thought was cool if possible to use these chips to attach our CNS to virtual worlds.

But doubt the chips have such uses, and would rather transplant CNS to robots.

Want this physical form gone so won’t be forced to have E with everyone else from now on; am jealous of robots

Want this meatbag gone once and for all.

The problem is just, how to do so with small funds?

If you had a million dollars, here is how to transplant your CNS to robots:

Lookup maps of human CNS,

produce a robot to replace all of your PNS (biological muscles and sensors) with mechanical servos/motors/actuators and sensors,

program a medical robot to have your heart stop, remove your CNS from you, and transplant your CNS to the robot’s systems.

You can rent medical robots, ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3016020/

https://finmodelslab.com/blogs/operating-costs/medical-robotics-operating-costs )

but most of those just have 1 or 2 arms and would could not do much more than rip your cortex (and spinal cord) out of you.

To remove, intact, all of your CNS and attach your CNS to the robot’s systems,

would require complex robots that have thousands of small arms,

such as one of the autonomous robot labs used to produce cars (

),
but small,

to sever all of your nerves/axons plus attach your nerves/axons to a robot’s sensors/motors.

If you have a million dollars, send a private message and I will do this for both of us

Lots of cases of humans who have regrown severed nerves ( https://medicine.wustl.edu/news/regrowing-damaged-nerves-hinges-on-shutting-down-key-genes/

https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/check-out-bacterial-computers-pretty-cool-huh.73798/ ),

so with a lab full of super complex medical robots,

you could reattach your nerves/axons to digital circuits.

You can lookup lots of cases of scientists that have hooked up bacteria ( https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3971165/

or neural masses ( https://qz.com/computers-built-with-human-neurons-could-cut-emissions-1851010758

so lots of progress you could use to transplant human's CNS into robot
