However, the electrodes must beflexible, so that they do not damage brain tissue and will last for a long time.And to make the implantation(植入)of so many electrodes safe, painless and effective, the process has to be automated.Mr. Musks team does indeed seem to have made progress towards these goals.Their presentation includes videos of a robot that is best described as a sewingmachine. This robot grabs threads, and shoots them deep into the brain througha hole. The firm has also designed a chip that canhandle signals from as many as 3,072 electrodes.With all these technological breakthroughs, the firm now hopes to help peopleovercome such illnesses as blindness and paralysis. They designed a small devicethat would sit behind someones ear, picking up signals from the implanted chip andpassing them on as appropriate. In a few years, using a brain implant to controlyour devices may be as prevalent as wearing wireless earphones today. Finally, Muskpredicts neural lace will allow humans to be combined with AI systems, thus enabling the species to survive.Though, as this announcement shows, Mr. Musk does have a habit of presentinghimself as the hero of the human race, at least the concept that some machines willcome under the direct control of human brains seems possible to be carried out. Thebiggest barrier to this happening will probably not be writing the software neededto interpret brainwaves, but rather persuading people that the necessary surgery, 名校名师整理英语 24 字整体教学法whether by sewing machine or otherwise, is actually a good idea.1.We can learn from the first two paragraphs that _.A.electrodes should be flexible to extend lifeB.Elon Musk constantly comes up with unexpected ideasC.a neural lace is used to store information from the brainD.electrodes are implanted by top surgeons for safety reasons2.What does the underlined word prevalent in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Useful.
