Tesla founder and Chief Executive Elon Musk has launched yet another  company called Neuralink through which computers could merge with human brains, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.Neuralink is pursuing what Musk calls the "neural lace" technology, implanting tiny brain electrodes that may one day upload and download thoughts, the Journal reported.

Internal sources told The Journal that  Neuralink, was developing "neural lace" technology that would allow people to communicate directly with machines without going through a physical interface. Neuralink was registered as a medical-research company in California in July.
Neural lace involves implanting electrodes in the brain so people could upload or download their thoughts to or from a computer, according to the report. The product could allow humans to achieve higher levels of cognitive function.
Tesla declined to comment on the veracity of The Journal's report.

Musk is attempting to set up safety standards for artificial intelligence through his nonprofit, OpenAI, which he founded with Y Combinator's Sam Altman in 2015. OpenAI's mission is to "advance digital intelligence in the way that is most likely to benefit humanity as a whole."
But Neuralink's first products could involve using implants to treat disorders like epilepsy or major depression, according to The Journal.
Researchers at universities like the University of California and Duke are also developing brain-computer interface technology that would allow people with paraplegia to walk again.
