Elon Musk is reportedly considering investment in Neuralink's rival brain chip company

into the motor cortex of a human patient in the US for the first time. Doctors in New York's Mount Sinai West did so as part of the company's COMMAND trial, which is aiming to examine the safety of Synchron's implant in patients with severe paralysis. The company also completed a study in Australia, wherein four people were determined to still be safe even after a year with its implant.

Like Neuralink, Synchron is also hoping to provide people with limited mobility the ability to control devices like smartphones and computers with their minds. That will give them the independence to email, text and do various digital tasks. Earlier this year, Max Hodak, the Neuralink co-founder who left the company in 2021,

that he took on an advisory role with Synchron. He also financially invested in the company"given [his] excitement for what they're doing." It's worth noting, though, that Musk reportedly held discussions with other Neuralink rivals in the past.says he also approached brain-machine interface developer Paradromics in 2020, but those talks were ultimately abandoned.
