Musk noted that the patient is “on the mend” and that initial results show “promising neuron spike detection.”
Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced that Neuralink has performed a brain chip implant on a patient for the first time. Following this important step on Sunday, Musk stated that the patient is “on the mend” and that initial results show “promising neuron spike detection.“
Musk explained that the quarter-sized chip implant contains dozens of thin thread-shaped electrodes placed in the region of the brain that controls movements. These electrodes ensure the functionality of the chip by transmitting electrical signals from neurons.
Human trials started with FDA approval
Last year, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized Neuralink to conduct implant trials in humans. This was an important step for the company to achieve its goal of helping patients with paralysis and neurological disorders. In September, Neuralink announced that it had received the necessary permits for human trials.
Musk’s statements and goals
Elon Musk announced on X that Neuralink’s brain implant is working on a new product, “Telepathy“. Stating that this product will give people the ability to control phones and computers just by thinking, Musk said that especially those who have lost limbs will benefit from this technology. He stated that their goal is to provide a use that exceeds the communication speed of Stephen Hawking, for example.
