Brain implant thinner than a single human hair could allow you to use social media with your MIND

• The chip is posted like a letter through a tiny slit less than 1mm made in the head
• It means people with neurodegenerative diseases could regain communication
• The device is similar to the brain implant designed by Elon Musk's company

Scientists have developed a brain implant that is thinner than a human hair and would allow you to use social media with your mind.

The highly experimental chip is designed for paralyzed or mute patients people with paralysis who cannot use their limbs to communicate via a computer.

But it could also allow healthy people to use social media with the power of their mind alone.

It differs from the brain implant created by Elon Musk's company because the procedure is less invasive and the chip sits on the surface of the brain rather than in the tissue.

The implantation of the device into the skull is the reversible if patients change their mind or want to get a newer version in the future
