Elon Musk’s Neuralink implants brain chip in first human patient
Live MintElon Musk's Nerualink has announced that it implanted its first chip in a human on Sunday and that the patient is recovering well, with initial tests showing 'promising neuron spike detection'. Musk's brain chip startup had received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration to conduct its first human trial last year, and the startup announced later that year that it was seeking volunteers to have its chips implanted. Informing about the human trial via a post on X, Musk wrote, “The first human received an implant from @Neuralink yesterday and is recovering well. Initial results show promising neuron spike detection.” Musk also noted that the first Neuralink product is called Telepathy and it would provide humans with control over using their phone or computer just by thinking.
