Musk’s Neuralink Implants First Brain Chip in Human

Elon Musk said on Monday that the first human patient in his Neuralink startup’s clinical trial is recovering well after having a chip implanted in their brain on Sunday.

“Initial results show promising neuron spike detection,” Mr. Musk added in a post on X (formerly Twitter), referring to the activity of neurons that send signals throughout the brain and body.

The San Francisco-based neurotechnology company conducted its first human clinical study using its Precise Robotically Implanted Brain-Computer Interface (PRIME).

The study uses a robot to surgically implant a wireless brain-computer interface (BCI) in the brain region controlling movement intention.

Neuralink said it aims to create the world’s first neural implant that will allow users to control a computer or mobile device anywhere they go using their thoughts.
