Elon Musk said on Tuesday that his Neuralink business had implanted a brain implant in its first human patient, with “promising” early results.
Musk co-founded the neurotechnology business in 2016, which aims to create direct communication pathways between the brain and computers.
The goal is to enhance human capacities, treat neurological ailments such as ALS or Parkinson’s, and eventually develop a symbiotic relationship between people and artificial intelligence.
