Neuralink Advances Second Human Brain Implant Despite Initial Challenges

Elon Musk's company aims to enhance brain-computer interfaces with improved technology and risk mitigation measures.

Neuralink's first implant faced issues with thread retraction but has stabilized after adjustments.
The second patient is scheduled for implantation within a week, targeting up to nine participants by year-end.
New measures include deeper thread insertion and skull sculpting to prevent future detachment.
The company is developing a more efficient device with fewer electrodes to boost performance.
Musk envisions future applications extending to telepathy, advanced vision, and control of prosthetic limbs.
