Elon Musk's company gears up for clinical trials for implanting chips into the human brain
Elon Musk's neurotechnology company, Neuralink, will begin clinical trials to implant a chip into the human brain to control a computer and smartphone without the use of hands, according to the TASS news agency.
Preliminary tests for implanting chips in monkey brains in 2021 were successful; the experimental monkey learned to move the cursor around the screen without using a joystick.
Musk's Neuralink project, launched in 2016, brought together the best experts in neural interface development and the development of robots that allow electrodes to be implanted into the brain automatically. Musk believes that as these technologies advance, a person will be able to resist artificial intelligence and control computers from a distance using only the power of thought.
