Elon Musk's Blindsight brain implant has achieved a major milestone. It's now being worn by Geordi La Forge. No wait, it's actually been awarded Breakthrough Device Designation by the FDA. But to celebrate, Musk evoked the famously vision-enhanced Star Trek character in an X post.
According to Musk, the Neuralink device is designed not only to restore vision to those who have lost it, but even enable someone blind from birth to see for the first time.
