The device is about the size of a large coin and is designed to be implanted in the skull, with ultra-thin wires going directly into the brain.

Musk has said the first two applications in people would be to attempt to restore vision and try to help people with little or no ability to operate their muscles rapidly use digital devices. He also said he envisions that signals from the brain could be bridged to Neuralink devices in the spinal cord for someone with a broken neck.

After Musk made a presentation late last year about the device, Rajesh Rao, co-director of the Center for Neurotechnology at the University of Washington, said he doesn’t thinkof other teams in terms of brain-computer interface achievements but is "quite ahead" in terms of the hardware in the devices.

It’s unclear how well this device or similar interfaces will ultimately work, or how safe they might be. Neuralink’s interface is considered an "investigational device" at this point, and clinical trials are designed to collect data on safety and effectiveness. In its tweet this week, Neuralink said that it’s not yet recruiting participants for the study and will provide more information soon.that I have read and agree
