Neuralink Successfully Implants First Brain-Computer Interface in Human

The patient is recovering well, with initial results showing promising neuron spike detection, according to Elon Musk.

  • Elon Musk's Neuralink has successfully implanted its first brain-computer interface chip in a human, according to Musk's announcement on the social media platform X.
  • The patient is reportedly recovering well, with initial results showing promising neuron spike detection.
  • The first product from Neuralink, called 'Telepathy', aims to enable users to control their phones or computers just by thinking.
  • Initial users of the technology will be those who have lost the use of their limbs, with the goal of enabling them to communicate faster than a speed typist or auctioneer.
  • Despite the successful implantation, experts caution that the technology is far from facing widespread adoption and carries potential risks, including the body's potential rejection of the implant.
