Neuralink into the human brain
According to Musk, the individual whose chip was inserted is becoming healthier. Musk shared a post on social media with this information.
Elon Musk has declared the success of the first experiment involving implanting a chip into a human brain. This breakthrough has been attained by Elon Musk’s business Neuralink. According to Musk, the individual who had the chip inserted is getting better. Musk disclosed this information by publishing a social media post.
Approval was received from US Food and Drug Administration last year
The US Food and Drug Administration gave Neuralink permission in May of last year to implant a chip into a person’s brain. According to Elon Musk, the preliminary findings are very positive. The Independent Institutional Review Board has granted approval, according to the details provided on Neuralink’s website. A wireless brain computer interface was successfully evaluated in the PRIME (Precise Robotically Implanted Brain Computer Interface) medical device experiment. This test was conducted to evaluate the safety of implanting the chip into a human brain.
What is Neuralink?
Renowned billionaire Elon Musk founded the firm Neuralink in 2016 with the help of a few scientists and engineers. Neuralink is developing brain-to-skull implantable brain-chip interfaces. These chips will allow crippled persons who are unable to move, communicate, or see to have somewhat better lives once more. Neural impulses can be sent to gadgets like computers or phones with the chip’s assistance. But Musk’s business is also coming under fire. In actuality, the business has previously tested chips on lab animals, a practice for which it received harsh criticism.
The business also had to deal with the US Central Investigation in 2022. 1500 animals—including rats, monkeys, pigs, and other animals—are said to have died at the hands of the corporation during testing. The business had refuted these claims, though.
