How does the Neuralink Brain

Chip Work??
 The brain consists of special cells called neurons
that transmits Signals to other cells in the body, like
our muscles and nerves.
 The electrodes of the Neuralink chip are able to
read these Signals , which are then translated into
motor controls.
 This could control external technologies like 2. The Little Three Pigs Advantages
