Elon Musk Says Neuralink Has Implanted Its Chip in a Human for the First Time

Elon Musk says that the first person has received a neural implant from his controversial brain chip startup Neuralink. Musk revealed the information in a tweet posted on his social media platform, X (formerly Twitter). For months, the company has been looking for a candidate to undergo its experimental surgery, the point of which is to install a tiny microchip into the top layer of the person’s skull. Once installed, the chip is supposed to provide a number of health and scientific benefits, including an ability to measure brain activity and to give people with physical or mental disabilities newfound capabilities. —Lucas Ropek Read More
