Musk also announced the update on his X social media platform, highlighting Blindsight’s potential to restore vision in even the most severe blindness cases.

“The Blindsight device from Neuralink will enable even those who have lost both eyes and their optic nerve 

“To set expectations correctly, the vision will be at first be low resolution, like Atari graphics, but eventually it has the potential to be better than natural vision and enable you to see in infrared, ultraviolet or even radar wavelengths, like Geordi La Forge.” Musk wrote on X.com.

Neuralink, co-founded by Elon Musk in 2016, specialises in developing innovative brain-computer interfaces to transform treatments for neurological disorders.

Neuralink’s technology includes a brain implant that reads neural signals and wirelessly transmits them to external devices, including computers and mobile devices.

Kevin de Bruyne stole the show at the Etihad, scoring two and setting up another as City secured a huge victory in the Premier League title race. He was joined by John Stones and Erling Haaland on the scoresheet, as the latter registered his 49th goal of the season.

The result Through out the week means City are  One points Ahead Arsenal with One  game in hand. If they win   their matches then they will establish a four-point lead on the Gunners, which will be incredibly hard for Arsenal to get back from, due to City’s stunning form.

Arsenal have done exceptionally well to lead the title race for so long after finishing fifth in the league last season. However, they are now at serious risk of losing out on the trophy and must draw up plans to catch City next term.

According to The Sun, Arteta is ready to revamp his transfer plans in response to the City defeat. Originally, the coach was hoping to bring in two expensive marquee signings – Declan Rice of West Ham and Brighton’s Moises Caicedo.

He viewed the midfield as the main area of his squad which needed reinforcements. However, against City, Arsenal looked weak in defence without William Saliba.

The Sun write that Arsenal are interested in Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi. The Englishman has been a reliable performer this season and has even captained Palace on several occasions, despite being only 22 years of age.

is the amount of game time Arsenal would be able to offer Guehi. At Palace he is playing week in, week out, but at Arsenal he would have to act as backup for Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes.

The report also reveals the cheaper midfield option Arsenal might land on instead of Rice, with the West Ham captain set to cost at least £70m.

It is claimed that the Gunners are back in the mix to sign Youri Tielemans. He will be available on a free transfer this summer after running down his Leicester contract.

Goal. Com has previously been told that Tielemans was at risk of pricing himself out of an Arsenal move by asking for too much in wages.
