Elon Musk’s AI firm Neuralink is developing a brain-computer interface that will allow one to stream music directly to their brain.
Responding to a computer scientist Austin Howard on Twitter, Musk confirmed that the Neuralink technology will enable users to listen to music directly from their chips.
Neuralink had showcased a brain-on-chip last year. Aimed at users suffering from paralysis and brain disorders, the chip contains tiny threads that help perform certain tasks.

The company claimed that these threads are long-lasting and could potentially replace the current generation of unwieldy brain-machine interfaces. The company had planned to conduct human trials this year.
The chip can be controlled through an application on the iPhone. Called N1 sensor, it can be paired with a USB port. The setup includes as many as 96 threads with each thread being smaller than the human hair.
That said, Musk and Neuralink are going to announce an update on the brain-computer interface technology next month.
