  Scientists are still stunned by Elon Musk's plan to enable blind people to see, using his Neurolink's Brain Computer Interface chip dubbed Blindsight.

Blindsight got the approval of the US Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA), though there have been no human trials. Musk confided that Neurolink will perform its first human implant of Blindsight at the course of 2025. Will Neurolink's Blindsight allow Blind People to see? Blindsight is designed to enable people with total visual impairment, as a result of damaged optic nerve but with intact visual cortex, to see.
