Last month, Neuralink said it received Food and Drug Administration clearance for its first-in-human clinical trial.
Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk expects his brain-chip startup Neuralink to start its first human trial this year, he said Friday in France.
The FDA acknowledged in an earlier statement to Reuters that the agency cleared Neuralink to use its brain implant and surgical robot for trials but declined to provide more details. Musk has missed timelines on his public pronouncements about Neuralink before, however. On at least four occasions since 2019, Musk predicted that Neuralink would soon start human trials.
Neuarlink, founded in 2016, first sought permission from the FDA in early 2022, and the agency rejected the application, citing dozens of safety concerns, Reuters has reported.In one instance in 2021, the company implanted 25 out of 60 pigs with the wrong-sized devices.
