Musk has said the project will initially be used to treat neural conditions, but could eventually enhance humans and even facilitate a "symbiosis" with artificial intelligence.

The small study involved 11 COVID-19 patients in Germany.

Experiments on sheep reveal unusual brain activity that appear to correspond to human user experiences.

For the first time, the component has been proven to carry signals between neurons using very low power—which has been a major challenge in previous studies, the research team said.

Scientists monitored rats reaction to stress over a 21-day period to find out what brain mechanisms affected their susceptibility or resilience to anhedonia.

While the undertaking sounds like an intriguing proposition in and of itself, the purpose of the study is to highlight the importance of enriched environments in lab-based animal studies.

The controversial condition was classified as a disorder last year.

The subjective experience of consciousness and associated psychological processes—thoughts, beliefs, ideas, intentions and more—are products of non-conscious processes, researchers say.

"We found that people who hold radical political beliefs have worse metacognition than those with more moderate views," said the study's lead author.
