Musk has said previously that he'd have one of the implants fitted in his brain but he's not expected to be among the first round of volunteers.
Seven years after its launch, Elon Musk’s Neuralink company has finally secured approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to implant a computer inside a human brain.
Recommended Videos The timing of the approval fits with Musk’s announcement in November 2022 that Neuralink had applied to the FDA for approval, saying at the time that he expected the regulator to take about six months to reach a decision. The company said on Thursday that recruitment for the clinical trial “is not yet open” but promised to “announce more information on this soon.”
Neuralink hopes that one day its device will allow the human mind to control gadgets and programs simply through thought, offering new hope to people with brain disorders and conditions such as paralysis.
