Neuralink, a brain neuroscience startup owned by Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, is said to have implanted a chip into the human brain for the first time in the world.

On the 29th (local time), Musk said on his social media (SNS).

“Neuralink’s first product is Telepathy,” he said. “You can control almost any device, including your cell phone or computer, just by thinking.”

“The initial users will be people who lack the use of their limbs,” Musk said. “Imagine Stephen Hawking being able to communicate faster than a typist or an auctioneer. “That is the goal.”

Dr. Stephen Hawking, whom Musk mentioned, is a world-renowned physicist who has suffered from Lou Gehrig's disease, which causes muscle atrophy, since the age of 21 and has been confined to a wheelchair his entire life.

This Neuralink transplant took place eight months after the clinical trial was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in May of last year. For this trial, the company began recruiting clinical participants to implant a computer chip into the human brain in September last year.

Neuralink, founded by Musk, aims to develop technology that allows the brain to communicate directly with the computer by implanting a computer chip into the human brain.

In an interview with the media, Musk said, “Our goal is to make this possible for people who have lost their vision or cannot move their muscles,” and added, “Even people who were born blind and have never used their eyes will be able to have vision.” “It is,” he said.
