Elon Musk Says Neuralink Has Implanted Brain Chip in Human
Elon Musk said that the first human received a Neuralink brain implant
, a potential milestone in the development of “brain-computer interface” technology that could one day help those suffering from debilitating
conditions such as paralysis
to interact with their surroundings. Musk tweeted late Monday that the patient
received the implant the prior
day and is “recovering well,” suggesting that the surgery was completed successfully and that there were no serious technical problems. Musk didn’t disclose details about the patient. When Neuralink announced last September that it was recruiting
a trial participant, it said it was looking for someone suffering from quadriplegia
.
