Elon Musk is planting computer chips in brains – where do I sign up?

The Independent  

Would you trust Elon Musk to put a chip in your brain? If you think it sounds like the plot for a cyberpunk novel – something William Gibson would dream up for Hollywood, say, with Keanu Reeves in the starring role – you’re not alone. Musk took to his platform X, formerly Twitter, to report that the first person to take part in the study was “recovering well” and that “initial results show promising neuron spike detection”. Musk’s system, which is called “Telepathy”, is designed to help deal with complex neurological conditions – such as enabling people with quadriplegia to “control external devices with their thoughts”. And while the “chip in a brain” idea might sound slightly dystopian, I’m living proof that medical tech really does have the potential to transform lives.
