Elon Musk revealed via X that Neuralink is developing a device named “Blindsight” that could restore vision even for individuals who have lost both eyes and their optic nerve.
Musk explained that while the device will initially feature low resolution, it has the potential to exceed natural eyesight by expanding the visible light spectrum.
Neuralink announced that Blindsight has been granted “Breakthrough Device” status by the FDA and is currently seeking participants for clinical trials.
