<div>Roommates, if you&#8217;ve ever seen an episode of Black Mirror, you&#8217;ll understand exactly how far-fetched this idea sounds. But, Elon Musk is convinced his latest invention will do more good than harm.</div>
<div></div>
<div>According to CNN, Elon Musk is in the process of creating bluetooth implants that will connect your brain to your mobile device. He claims the devices could &#8220;enable telepathy and repair motor function&#8221; in people with injuries and disabilities.</div>
<div></div>
<div>In a presentation, the Tesla CEO says his &#8216;Neuralink&#8217; devices will consist of a tiny chip connected to 1,000 wires. The chip features a USB port and connects to a small computer worn over the ear. The computer allows the chip to connect your brain to your smartphone and give you what Elon calls &#8220;telepathic abilities&#8221;.</div>
<div></div>
<div>&#8220;If you&#8217;re going to stick something in a brain, you want it not to be large,&#8221; he says.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Neuralink says the devices can be used by people looking to boost their memory, or by stroke victims, cancer patients, quadriplegics, and others with disabilities.</div>
<div></div>
<div>The company says up to 10 devices can be placed in a patient&#8217;s brain. The chips will connect to an iPhone app that the user can control.</div>
<div></div>
<div>The devices also require a special surgical procedure done by a robot built by Neuralink. The robot, which will be operated by a surgeon, will drill 2 millimeter holes in a person&#8217;s skull. The chip part of the device will plug the hole in the patient&#8217;s skull.</div>
<div></div>
<div>&#8220;The interface to the chip is wireless, so you have no wires poking out of your head,&#8221; Elon says. &#8220;That&#8217;s very important.&#8221;</div>
<div></div>
<div>Trials are set to start before the end of 2020.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Will you guys be copping a device, Roomies?</div>
