Elon Musk is because of reveal a operating mind-to-gadget interface as a part of his formidable plans to provide human beings superhuman powers.
His mind-hacking organization, Neuralink, implemented to begin human trials final 12 months.
But Friday's demonstration will contain a robotic and "neurons firing in actual time", a chain of tweets reveals.
The interface may want to permit human beings with neurological situations to manipulate telephones or computer systems with their mind.
But the long-time period ambition is to bring in an age of what Mr Musk calls "superhuman cognition".
People want to merge with synthetic intelligence, he says, in element to keep away from a situation in which AI turns into so effective it destroys the human race.
Founded in 2017, Neuralink has labored difficult to recruit scientists, some thing Mr Musk turned into nevertheless marketing and marketing for on Twitter final month.
The tool the organization is growing includes a tiny probe containing extra than 3,000 electrodes connected to bendy threads thinner than a human hair, that could reveal the pastime of 1,000 mind neurons.
In its final update, extra than a 12 months ago, the organization stated it had executed checks on a monkey that were capable of manage a laptop with its mind.
It has additionally constructed a "neurosurgical robotic" that it says can insert 192 electrodes into the mind each minute.
University of Pittsburgh assistant professor of bodily medication and rehabilitation Jennifer Collinger defined what Mr Musk turned into looking to do as "definitely disruptive era in a hard area of scientific era".
But she added: "Even with those sources, scientific-tool improvement takes time and protection desires to be a pinnacle priority, so I suspect the technique might also additionally take longer than they have got said as their goals."
