Tech billionaire Elon Musk has claimed his Neuralink company has successfully implanted one of its wireless brain chips in a human. The company’s goal is to connect human brains to computers to help tackle complex neurological conditions.
Neuralink’s clinical trial is called PRIME — for Precise Robotically Implanted Brain-Computer Interface. As the name implies, the process involves placing “a small cosmetically invisible implant in a part of your brain that plans movement.”
The implant, named Telepathy, consists of “1024 electrodes distributed across 64 threads,” as stated by Neuralink. This groundbreaking product facilitates control over your phone, computer, and nearly any device solely through thoughts.
