Elon Musk expects Neuralink to begin human trials in six months
Elon Musk, a wealthy American, stated on Wednesday that "it is expected to start human testing" using a wireless gadget created by his brain chip manufacturing business, "Neuralink," "within six months," and that "restoring sight" is one of the first intended uses
The company is working on brain chip interfaces that "may allow individuals with disabilities to move and communicate again," according to the company. In recent years, Neuralink has carried out its research on animals, and it is now looking for US regulatory approval to begin human trials
The first two uses of the Neuralink technology, according to Musk, "will be to restore eyesight and allow movement of the muscles of those who are unable to do so," in human testing. "We believe we may still restore sight to him," the speaker added, "even if a person has never seen, such as being born blind." More than a year ago, during Neuralink's most recent public presentation, the company displayed an experiment involving a monkey that used a brain chip to think independently and win a computer game
