that the monkey is playing the video game with just his mind.The monkey in the video is called Pager who has two of Neuralinks special Link devices(装置)inside hisbrain.The devices planted in Pagers brain are connected to 2,048 wires which lead to the parts of Pagers brainthat control movements of the arms and hands.Scientists taught Pager to play a video game.At first,Pager controlled the video game using a joystick it,which is a normal gaming controller.But as Pager played,his Link devices wirelessly sent out information aboutthe signals his brain was using to control his arms and hands.Neuralinks scientists recorded all of these signals.Then they used computers to match the signals from Pagers brain to the movements that his hands wereactually doing.This was the most difficult work and the scientists counted on artificial intelligence(AI)to helpthem decode(解码)Pagers brain signals.The final step was to have a computer make moves inthe video game as if Pager had actually moved thejoystick.If Pager thought about moving the joystick up,the computer would send an“up”signal to the videogame.At first,the researchers let Pager keep moving the joystick with his hand,even though it was no longerconnected to the computer.But soon Pager was able to play the video game using just his brain.Even though Neuralinks work right now focuses on animals and video games,theres a very serious purposebehind it.Neuralink wants to make it possible for humans who have lost the ability to make physical movementsto interact with the world around them.8.What are“Link”devices used to

movements.10.What is Neuralinks real purpose of the study?A.To test artificial intelligence.B.To help those without arms or legs.C.To study how animals play video games.D.To develop more complex video games.11.What can be the best title for the text?A.Video Games for Animals Are Developed.B.Science Proves the Intelligence of Monkeys.C.Monkey Plays Video Games Using His Mind.D.Neuralink Is Leading
