Elon Musk's Neuralink has received 'breakthrough device' status for its Blindsight implant, aimed at enabling the blind, even those blind from birth, to regain sight.
Musk stated that the Blindsight device will allow individuals who have lost vision due to optic nerve damage to see, estimating eventual potential for advanced visualization.
The FDA's 'breakthrough device' program is designed to expedite the approval processes for medical devices that address severe conditions and meet safety standards.
Eventually, the vision provided by the device could surpass natural sight, allowing users to perceive infrared or ultraviolet light, much like Geordi La Forge.
