If Neuralink manages to evolve further, it could even prove to be a breakthrough for Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Epilepsy, and more advanced diagnoses.

Musk gives an interesting explanation of death
“What is death?” Musk questioned and went on to explain it himself. “Death is the loss of information… Let’s say like if you got disintegrated but then got reintegrated immediately with no pain or anything, did you die? Well, not really. Because you are still continuing. So, like you know we’re in a video game… you die a lot in video games, but then you just come back to a saved game state.”
Elon Musk continued to explain his concept, saying that death is just a loss of information regarding an individual. “And, if you no longer have loss of information with that individual, death has no meaning. I mean, it could hurt I suppose,” he explained. You can watch the time-stamped video below!
