Neuralink implants brain chip in first human, Musk says | Reuters
Elon Musk’s company, Neuralink, has successfully implanted a wireless brain chip in a human for the first time. This achievement marks a significant milestone in the field of neurotechnology, aiming to establish direct communication links between the brain and computers. Musk envisions enhancing human capabilities, treating neurological disorders such as ALS and Parkinson’s disease, and potentially fostering a symbiotic relationship between humans and artificial intelligence. The implant, called the “Link,” is about the size of five stacked coins and is placed inside the brain through invasive surgery. Despite facing delays, Neuralink’s progress highlights the growing interest and investment in brain-machine interface research. Additionally, Neuralink faces competition from companies like Synchron, which has developed a less invasive implant technology. With promising initial results and regulatory approval for human testing, Neuralink is at the forefront of revolutionizing human-machine interaction
