Neuralink filed trademark applications for the terms Telepathy and Telekinesis, reflecting possible applications of the technology from the brain interface firm launched by Elon Musk.
The trademark application filed for Telepathy said that the product would be “an implantable brain to computer interface for facilitating communication and control of software and hardware.”
Neuralink has focused on developing technology to aid paralyzed or disabled people, but the Telepathy system could allow for communication between two people with Neuralink implants in their brains. Musk said eight years ago that the company wanted to create such technology.
