Musk: Brain Implants ‘Ready for Humans’

Elon Musk has brought the world reusable rockets, traffic-easing tunnels, new vactrain possibilities, fleets of electric vehicles, a low-orbit internet provider, and liberal apoplexy over his recent Twitter acquisition. Rather than rest on his laurels, the world’s richest man indicated on Wednesday that his brain-computer interfaces now have the potential to enable the blind to see, the mute to talk, and the lame to walk. What’s more, he claimed they are ready for human implantation. . .

On Wednesday, Elon Musk held a “Show and Tell” event at Neuralink’s headquarters in Fremont, California, revealing the latest advancements in Neuralink’s brain-computer interface technology.

Musk announced at the event and on Twitter that Neuralink plans to begin implanting devices into human patients within six months. A Neuralink brain implant requires that a patient have a portion of the skull removed and wires threaded into the brain tissue. The likely candidates for implantation are those with severe spinal cord injuries.

This announcement comes two years after Neuralink received an FDA Breakthrough Device designation, after years of tests on primates, and amid discussions with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which Bloomberg reported have been going well.

We are now confident that the Neuralink device is ready for humans, so timing is a function of working through the FDA approval process
