Neuralink, an American company founded by entrepreneur Elon Musk, placed an implant in the human brain for the first time in history on January 28. Musk shared on social media X that the first volunteer successfully completed the operation and that the performance of the device was promising.
The company started recruiting volunteers for clinical trials for the placement of brain implants in September last year. Neuralink’s main goal is to develop chips that can be implanted in the human brain to control prosthetics and directly control a computer using thoughts. Musk believes that such neural interfaces will help humans become cyborgs and resist artificial intelligence.
The company received permission from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to conduct human clinical trials on May 25, 2023. Neuralink continues to develop its technologies and hopes that in the future they will help people cope with various problems and improve their quality of life.
