Elon Musk's company, Neuralink, has received FDA approval to begin its first in-human clinical studies for brain implants. The technology aims to help paralyzed individuals regain mobility by bridging neurological gaps. The hosts mock a news anchor's verbal slip-up during the report, where she appeared to say "inhuman" instead of "in-human" clinical study.
Researcher Nina Kraus demonstrates how EEG machines can measure auditory evoked potentials in the brainstem. By recording the brain's electrical response to sound, scientists can play back a waveform that represents exactly what the brain processed. This research provides insight into auditory processing disorders where the ear functions correctly but the brain fails to interpret the signal.
Elon Musk announces the Neuralink project, which aims to merge the human brain with AI via implants. The hosts also discuss the reputation of General Michael Flynn among the intelligence community and a story about a Kansas principal resigning over false credentials.
