Musk, founder, CEO and chief engineer/designer of SpaceX, speaks during a news conference on Jan. 19, 2020, in Cape Canaveral, Fla. Musk's brain implant company, Neuralink, wants to one day implant computer chips inside people's brains.Musk — who also owns Twitter and is the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX — said last December that his team was in the process of asking regulators to allow them to test the Neuralink device.
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.
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. We are excited to share that we have received the FDA’s approval to launch our first-in-human clinical study!This is the result of incredible work by the Neuralink team in close collaboration with the FDA and represents an important first step that will one day allow our…
