Neuralink

The US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) approval of Neuralink's first-in-human clinical trial opens the door for the company to demonstrate the practicality and safety of its technology in humans.

Neuralink's brain chips are intended for medical purposes and aim to help partially or fully paralyzed individuals and people with severe spinal-cord injuries and neurological disorders.

The founder of the Neuralink startup Elon Musk showed a video in which a monkey plays Pong using a neurochip implanted in the brain, giving commands to the computer with the power of thought.

On a recent Lex Fridman’s podcast, Elon Musk, the CEO of the several companies including SpaceX, Tesla, and Neuralink, claimed that his neurotechnology company would be able to “solve” autism.
